Heart-Wrenching Account from Tiera, Ex-Wife of Jabbar

In a heart-wrenching account following the devastating New Year attack in New Orleans, Tiera, the ex-wife of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, has come forward with chilling details about their tumultuous past. Jabbar, now infamously known as the perpetrator behind the horrific incident that left at least 15 dead and dozens injured, is described by Tiera as having exhibited abusive behavior during their five-year marriage, which ended in divorce in 2016.

A Shocking Transformation

Tiera expressed her disbelief that Jabbar could descend into such a dark path, revealing that despite their unhappy marriage, she had never imagined he was capable of mass murder. In a surprising turn of events, she recounted her last interaction with him just two months before the massacre. In a conversation initiated over Facebook, Jabbar had reached out to share his thoughts about the loss of their son, who they tragically lost to a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy. Tiera recounted that their conversation was amicable, reflecting on their shared memories, before she ultimately decided to block him online to focus on her own healing journey.

Questions About His Transformation

The ex-wife noted a significant change in Jabbar's life since their separation, including his newfound practice of Islam. She remarked that he was not religious during their marriage, raising questions about his transformation and how it may have contributed to his violent actions. Tiera’s story is not unique; it adds to the disturbing image of Jabbar, who is already under scrutiny for his connections to extremist beliefs. Authorities discovered an ISIS flag in the back of the pickup truck he used during the attack.

A History of Violence

In a further twist, Tiera was married to Jabbar before the woman who filed a restraining order against him back in 2020, after alleging violent behavior towards her and their child. The court order mandated Jabbar to cease any forms of violence, highlighting a troubling pattern of abuse.

Ongoing Investigations

As investigations continue, the FBI has reported that surveillance footage captured multiple individuals, including three men and a woman, appearing to plant explosives in the vicinity of the attack. This raises the alarming possibility that Jabbar did not act alone, suggesting a more extensive network of conspirators involved in the brutal assault on innocent civilians.

Community Shock and Reflection

The tragedy of that fateful night on Bourbon Street has sent shockwaves through the community and has left many questioning the roots of such hatred and violence. Tiera's account offers a glimpse into the personal story behind the man now labeled a terrorist, illuminating the signs of distress that surrounded him long before the tragic events unfolded.
