The recent tragic events in New Orleans have left many shocked and devastated. The perpetrator behind the violent attack, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, had a tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife, Shaneen Chantil Jabbar, which ultimately led to a restraining order being issued against him.
According to reports, Shaneen sought legal protection during the pandemic due to the escalating conflict in their marriage. The restraining order prohibited both parties from threatening each other or their children with bodily harm. It also prevented them from causing intentional or reckless bodily injury to each other or their children.
Furthermore, the order prohibited either party from removing their child from their current school or daycare without consent. It also forbade them from hiding or secreting the child from the other party, as well as from taking the child outside of the geographical area identified by the court.
This was not the first time that Jabbar had faced issues with his spouses. A previous wife, who divorced him in 2016, revealed that he had been abusive during their marriage. While she did not provide further details, it is clear that Jabbar had a history of problematic relationships.
The tragic events unfolded when Jabbar drove his pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street, injuring over 30 people and killing 10. He also shot two officers before being fatally shot himself. Authorities discovered an ISIS flag in his truck, raising concerns about potential ties to extremist ideologies.
The devastating impact of Jabbar’s actions has left the community reeling, and our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing domestic violence and ensuring the safety of all individuals involved in such situations.
