The alleged perpetrator, Shamsud Din Jabbar, recorded a series of videos before the crime in New Orleans. This is stated by several officials with access to the investigation, who are currently going through all the recordings, write CNN.
The recordings appear to have been made when Jabbar was out driving at night. The suspect cannot be seen because it is dark, but investigators believe the recordings were made while he was driving from Texas to Louisiana. An exact time for this is not clear.
In the clips, Jabbar talks about his divorce and how he first planned to gather his family for a “celebration” with the intention of killing them, said two officials briefed on the footage.
The suspected perpetrator is said to have also spoken about how he came up with other plans and joined IS – after he had several dreams in which he was told why he should join the terrorist sect.
