Shamsud-Din Jabbar (terrorist) was 42 when he died while performing the New Orleans Truck Attack. He was born in Beaumont, Texas2 and raised Muslim, but strayed and only recently returned. His last address was in Houston.1
Jabbar was a U.S. Army veteran (joined in 2007) and worked in human resources and IT. He deployed to Afghanistan from February 2009 to January 2010 (possibly 2015) and was stationed at Fort Bragg at one point. In 2015 he was discharged and attended Georgia State University where he graduated in 2017 with a degree in computer information systems. Prior to GSU, he attended Central Texas College from 2008-2010 and received an associate degree in Information technology.
In 2021 Jabbar was hired by Deloitte where he worked as a data engineer, then cloud data architect, and finally in business development. He’s also reported to have worked for Ernst & Young at some point. He held a real estate license that expired in 2023 and was Team Lead for the Midas Group and Property Manager at Blue Meadow Properties (his phone number at the time was 832-774-9718)2.
He held a number of LLC’s in Texas and Georgia including Blue Meadow Properties LLC (2017 Fresno, TX), Digital Drip, LLC (Jun 13 2019-Oct 22 2020, dissolved, founded with Ishak Yusuf6 in Clarkston, GA), Gens Enterprises, LLC (Dec 10 2015-Sep 7 2018 Clarkston, GA), and Jabbar Real Estate Holdings LLC (2020 Fresno, TX)5
Jabbar was married three times and had children from two relationships. His first marriage ended in 2012, the second was from 2013-2016, the third was 2017-20224. The most recent divorce suggested financial difficulties with monthly childhood support exceeding his income. A restraining order was filed against him by his third wife.
He had a minor criminal record including traffic offences (DWI)3 and theft.
The FBI seized three mobile phones and two laptops. Jabbar uploaded a number of videos to Facebook in the hours preceding the attack. The videos allegedly claim he joined IS earlier in the year and contained a will and testament.
