Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the Texas man who drove a truck through a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans, visited the city at least twice in the months leading up to the massacre, using Meta smart glasses to record a video as he traveled the length of Bourbon Street, later the site of his attack.
Following the October and November trips to New Orleans, Jabbar returned to the city ahead of New Year’s celebrations and carried out his plan, killing 14 people and injuring scores of others.
