Jabbar, a Texas resident who openly expressed support for the terror group ISIS in social media posts prior to the attack, was fatally shot in a gunfire exchange with New Orleans police.
Authorities recovered an ISIS flag from the back of Jabbar’s rented pickup truck after the violent rampage. Jabbar, a U.S.-born citizen and Army veteran, previously worked for the consulting firm Deloitte, according to court documents reviewed by ABC News.
As investigators piece together details of Jabbar’s life and potential motives, federal officials have released a detailed timeline of events leading up to what they have officially classified as an “act of terrorism.”
Dec. 30: Truck rented in Houston
On Monday, Dec. 30, Jabbar used the car rental app Turo to rent a white Ford F-150 truck in Houston, Texas, authorities say.

Jan. 1: Jabbar Posts Pro-ISIS Videos to Social Media
During a Thursday press briefing, federal investigators revealed that Jabbar uploaded five videos to social media between 1:29 a.m. and 3:02 a.m. CT, expressing his support for ISIS.
“In the first video, Jabbar disclosed that he initially intended to harm his family and friends but decided against it, fearing the media coverage would fail to emphasize the ‘war between the believers and the disbelievers,'” explained Raia.
In one of the videos, Jabbar stated that he had aligned himself with ISIS before the summer, according to Raia.
Raia described the attack as a premeditated “act of terrorism.”
Jan. 1: Attack on Bourbon Street
At approximately 3:15 a.m. CT, Jabbar drove the rented truck into a blocked-off section of Bourbon Street, where crowds were celebrating the New Year, officials reported.
The truck barreled through a three-block stretch of the iconic thoroughfare, mowing down dozens of pedestrians and firing into the crowd. The attack claimed 14 lives and left 35 others injured. Jabbar was killed in a shootout with police during the rampage, according to authorities.

Jan. 2: Jabbar’s Marital and Financial Troubles Come to Light
Court records reveal Jabbar had a tumultuous marital history, marked by three divorces and significant financial struggles.
After his military service, Jabbar worked at Deloitte while attempting to launch a real estate business. Despite earning nearly $125,000 annually by 2022, his income was drained by court-ordered child support, credit card debt, and mortgage payments.
In 2012, his ex-wife, Nakedra Charrlle Jabbar, successfully sued for child support for their two daughters. In 2016, Jabbar divorced his second wife, Tiera Symone Jabbar, and in 2020, he filed for divorce from his third wife, Shaneen Chantil Jabbar, whom he had married in 2017.

The materials were found during a search of the home on Thursday, further confirming Jabbar’s intent and preparation for the attack, sources said.
