The FBI identified the suspect as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, U.S. citizen from Texas.
“He was driving a Ford pickup truck, which appears to have been rented and we are working to confirm how the subject came into possession of the vehicle,” the agency said in a Wednesday afternoon statement.
Officials recovered weapons and a potential IED inside the vehicle as well as an ISIS flag, which the FBI “is working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations,” the statement read. Other potential IEDs were located in the French Quarter. Authorities are working to determine whether any of the devices are viable.
Earlier Wednesday, the FBI confirmed that the suspect is dead after engaging with police.

Law enforcement reportedly recovered a handgun and an AR-style rifle, sources told the Associated Press.
Information about the suspect’s background is still emerging, but law enforcement confirmed he was a U.S. Army veteran.
“We believe he was honorably discharged, but we are working through this process, figuring out all this information,” Alethea Duncan, FBI assistant special agent in charge, said at the Wednesday afternoon press conference.
Public records suggest he was involved in consulting and real estate.
According to the New York Times, in an August 2022 court document as part of a divorce proceeding, the suspect said that he worked at Deloitte, earning about $120,000 a year. But earlier that year, the suspect alluded to his financial issues in an email, claiming he owed over $27,000 in late home payments and was at risk of foreclosure. Because he needed to hire a lawyer and pay living expenses, he said he had taken on $16,000 in credit card debt, the outlet reported.

Later in the day Wednesday, the FBI said they don’t think the suspect acted alone.
“We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible. We are aggressively running down every lead, including those of his known associates,” an official said at an afternoon press conference.
What was the motive?
The motive behind the mass killing is not yet known. The FBI said it is investigating the incident “as an act of terrorism.”
In its statement, the agency said: “The FBI is the lead investigative agency, and we are working with our partners
