The Federal Bureau of Investigation in New Orleans says the man behind the deadly truck attack on Bourbon Street travelled to Ontario in July 2023.

Special agent Lyonel Myrthil says the investigation is now “crossing state and international borders,” as law enforcement pieces together Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s movements in the lead-up to the New Year’s truck attack that killed 14 people.
