Officials said FBI agents are now following connections in Tampa, Fla., Atlanta, Ga. and Houston, Texas in what led to the attack that killed 14 people and injured dozens of others on Bourbon Street early New Year's Day.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a former U.S. Army soldier and U.S. citizen from Houston, carried out the attack before being fatally shot by police.

“We are looking at his travel within the United States. So he has traveled to areas within the Atlanta area as well as areas within the Tampa area,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Lyonel Myrthil. “At this time, we don’t have any indication that there will be any additional arrests, but there are also potential witnesses, potential individuals that may provide information at these locations. So, at this point, we do want to make sure we are speaking to all those individuals where he may have visited."

FBI officials in Houston have recovered evidence at his home and are now being examined by specialists.

Jabbar, 42, traveled to Cairo, Egypt from June 22 - July 3, 2023, as well as Ontario, Canada on July 10 - July 13 2023, although it was not yet clear whether those trips were connected to the attack, FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia said at a press conference.

Officials said that Jabbar made at least two trips to New Orleans in the months prior to the attacks: one in October and the other a month later in November.

Jabbar stayed at a rental home in New Orleans on Oct. 30, 2024. He was in town at least two days. During that time Jabbar, using Meta glasses, recorded video as he rode through the French Quarter on a bicycle, officials said.

13 people remain hospitalized from the attack, with eight people in intensive care.
