On January 1, 2025, at around 3:15 a.m. CST (UTC–6), a man drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, United States, then exited the truck and engaged in a shoot-out with police before being fatally shot. Fifteen people were killed, including the suspect, and at least 35 others were injured, including two police officers, who were shot. The attack occurred during New Year celebrations in the city, which was scheduled to host the college football Sugar Bowl game later that day.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identified the driver as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an American-born resident of Houston, Texas. An Islamic State (ISIS) flag was found on the back of the truck. The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism. It is additionally being investigated along with a vehicle explosion at Trump International Hotel Las Vegas that occurred the same day and shares perpetrator similarities.

Background

Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies had warned local police agencies about potential vehicle-ramming attacks before the holidays. In a 2017 memo, the city government also noted the risk of a mass casualty incident, including from a vehicle attack in the French Quarter, and it had plans to establish further security programs in the area.

US officials were concerned about the potential for lone wolf terror attacks and efforts by the Islamic State's Khorasan branch to recruit new members by spreading propaganda online and radicalizing vulnerable populations.

The New Year celebrations in the city included parties on Bourbon Street and a parade for the 2025 Sugar Bowl—one of New Orleans's major sporting events—which was scheduled to take place on the night of January 1 at the Caesars Superdome between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Law enforcement had increased security in preparation for these events, including using drones in the French Quarter.

Attack

After exiting traffic, the driver brought his truck around a police SUV and around barricades that were placed to protect Bourbon Street, driving into people along a three-block stretch between Canal and Conti streets.

Eyewitnesses blamed the city and reported that steel barricades installed to prevent vehicular access were not raised before the attack, though New Orleans Police superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said that police were aware they malfunctioned sometimes and instead used other barricades. Originally, special barricades that stopped cars were put on streets, but were taken for repairs in preparation for the upcoming Sugar Bowl. Police superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick stated the suspect was "trying to run over as many people as he possibly could". After he crashed into an aerial work platform, he exited the truck and began firing a weapon. New Orleans Police Department officers returned fire with two officers being wounded in the gun fight. Witnesses and law enforcement officials said the driver was shooting with an assault rifle; he also had a handgun. Witnesses also said he was wearing full military gear. Officers killed the suspect in the shootout and recovered the AR-style rifle and the handgun.

The white Ford F-150 Lightning light-duty truck used in the attack had been rented through the Turo car-sharing app, and had been observed in Humble, Texas, on the morning before the attack. Later that day, the truck was observed in Baytown, Texas, heading east on Interstate 10 toward New Orleans. The truck was owned by a Houston man. There was an Islamic State (ISIS) flag on the trailer hitch.

Victims

At least 15 people, including the suspect, were killed according to New Orleans coroner Dwight McKenna. At least 35 others were injured, some critically. Immediately after the attack, emergency personnel took 30 of the wounded to five area hospitals, while other injured sought hospital care on their own. Superintendent Kirkpatrick said most of the victims were local residents.

Police said that the release of the victims' identities will be carried out when all the deceased are identified. However some of the victims were already identified by their families on social media. As of January 2, seven fatalities had been identified, including five men and two women. The youngest identified victims were an 18-year-old Palestinian American man and an 18-year-old woman from Mississippi.

Aftermath

A reunification center was established at University Medical Center New Orleans, where police reported 26 wounded were located.

Many hotels in the area were evacuated, and hospitality and service workers reporting for work later that morning were turned away from the area. It also had an impact on high-profile sporting events: the 2025 Sugar Bowl, which is part of the 2024–25 College Football Playoff, was to be played at Caesars Superdome between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Georgia Bulldogs at 7:45 p.m. CST on January 1 but was postponed to 3 p.m. CST the following day due to ongoing security sweeps. Meanwhile, local organizers said they would review security procedures for Super Bowl LIX to be held in New Orleans the following month, but the priority would be on the immediate response to the attack.

The New Orleans City Hall building was closed to the public on January 2 to reduce traffic.

Suspect

Jabbar during his Army service

The FBI identified the suspected truck driver as Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar (October 26, 1982 – January 1, 2025), a 42-year-old American citizen born in Texas who lived in a Houston neighborhood in northern Harris County at the time of the attack, and was a former resident of Beaumont. He served in the U.S. Army for ten years as a human-resources specialist and an information technology specialist and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009, rising to the rank of staff sergeant. He was honorably discharged. He attended Georgia State University from 2015 to 2017. His past criminal history included a 2002 arrest for misdemeanor theft and a 2005 arrest for driving with an invalid license. Jabbar was twice divorced, resulting in financial problems. He had two daughters, aged 20 and 15 at the time of the attack. A brother of Jabbar's said that he converted to Islam at a young age. A friend of his said he noticed that he had "gotten really passionate" about his faith when they reconnected on Facebook around 2017. The husband of one of his ex-wives said that Jabbar had been acting erratically in the months before the attack.

Althea Duncan, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI New Orleans field office, initially said investigators did not believe Jabbar acted alone. Sources told ABC News that New Orleans police reviewed surveillance video that appeared to show several people planting potential explosive devices in advance of the vehicle attack, which led them to believe that he was not solely responsible. However, on January 2, it was reported that further review of surveillance video appeared to show Jabbar himself placing the explosives, and investigators said they no longer believed that others were involved in carrying out the attack.

Investigation

FBI agent examining ISIS flag that was displayed on perpetrator's car

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is leading the investigation of the attack and has opened a tip line. Investigators found two pipe bombs inside coolers on Bourbon Street a few blocks from the attack. The devices were rigged for detonation, and connected to a wireless remote found in the truck. A long gun with a homemade suppressor was also found at the scene. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Department of Homeland Security, and prosecutors for the National Security Division and the local federal prosecutor's office are assisting in the investigation. The FBI has inquired as to whether the suspect was connected to or inspired by a foreign terrorist organization; the suspect discusses the Islamic State (ISIS) and a desire to kill in videos made while driving to New Orleans. The FBI said that apparent explosive devices were found elsewhere in the French Quarter; authorities believe these may have been placed by someone other than the driver. The FBI stated at a news conference that investigators "do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible" for the attack, and the FBI believes he may have had help in carrying it out. The FBI is looking at a "range of suspects" and does "not want to rule anything out" at the current stage of the investigation.

A fire broke out the same day of the attack at an Airbnb in the St. Roch neighborhood, which investigators believe the suspect rented.

The same day, at approximately 8:39 a.m., a Tesla Cybertruck exploded and caught fire outside of the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada. One person was killed and seven were injured; the incident is being investigated by the FBI as a terrorist attack in connection with the truck attack, with Tesla independently investigating the incident. The suspect behind the vehicle rented it from the Turo app like the New Orleans truck attack perpetrator and reportedly served in the same military base as him.

A man from Jabbar's house in North Houston surrendered after law enforcement entered it.

Reactions

Domestic

U.S. President Joe Biden contacted Mayor LaToya Cantrell to offer support and released a statement saying that his "heart goes out to the victims and their families who were simply trying to celebrate the holiday".

Troy Carter, who represents almost all of New Orleans in the U.S. House, said the attack was an "unspeakable act of violence" and commended the New Orleans Police Department for their work. Bill Cassidy, Louisiana's senior U.S. Senator, called the attack "so tragic" and offered thanks to responding officers. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry expressed condolences to the victims of the attack and urged people to avoid the area.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, president-elect Donald Trump, and U.S. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise also condemned the attack. The FBI later stated it was investigating the attack as an act of terrorism.

The New Orleans PD, along with Mayor Cantrell, described the incident as a terrorist attack. At the time of the attack, a system of bollards protecting Bourbon Street from drivers was undergoing an upgrade, and it is unclear whether bollards were in place. Jason Williams, the district attorney for Orleans Parish, said that "driving a vehicle into a crowd is not particularly a thing that any law enforcement agency can be prepared for".

Jeff Hundley, the director of the committee that organizes the Sugar Bowl, said the committee was devastated by the terror attack. The University of Georgia (UGA) Athletic Association said they were "deeply saddened by the senseless violence that occurred in New Orleans", and University of Notre Dame president Robert A. Dowd said that " prayers are with the family members and loved ones of all those impacted by the terrible attack in New Orleans early this morning". UGA President Jere Morehead confirmed that one UGA student was injured in the attacks, and said he was deeply saddened and expressed gratitude for the first responders. The New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans released a joint statement paying tribute to the victims and the city's resilience. The Pelicans held a moment of silence before their game on the same day against the Miami Heat. In Pasadena, California, a moment of silence for the victims was held during the Rose Parade. The National Football League expressed confidence that spectators and participants alike would have a safe and enjoyable experience at the Super Bowl.

The truck's owner said that the FBI had instructed him not to publicly talk about the matter. His wife said she and her husband were devastated and offered condolences. The husband of Jabbar's ex-wife said Jabbar's daughters were distraught.

International

Israel's foreign ministry said two Israeli citizens were wounded in the attack.

Mexico's foreign ministry reported that two Mexican nationals were injured in the attack.
