New Orleans FBI officials disclosed that they have reason to believe that the suspect in the recent attack on a mother and her 8-year-old daughter in New Orleans did not act alone. The suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, was apprehended last week and charged with attempted second-degree murder.
According to an FBI official, they are investigating whether Jabbar had assistance from others, although they have not released any details about potential co-conspirators.
The FBI has launched an ongoing investigation into the attack, which took place on the morning of January 28. The mother and child were shot multiple times while sitting in their vehicle in a parking lot. The attack left the mother with multiple gunshot wounds and the child with a critical injury to her arm.
The FBI has disclosed that they are reviewing and analyzing evidence, including surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts, to determine if there were any accomplices involved in the incident. Authorities also indicated that they are working closely with the New Orleans Police Department to gather more information and identify potential suspects.
Although officials have not released any new information about the investigation, the latest update suggests that they are pursuing potential leads and exploring other avenues to uncover the full extent of the attack. The investigation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether more arrests will be made in connection with the case.
