Inside Shamsud Din Jabbar’s Squalid Home where Sheep and Goats roam his yard — after his financial ruin
HOUSTON — The terrorist who killed at least 10 people when he plowed his truck down crowded Bourbon Street in New Orleans was an American-born military veteran who was living in a run-down trailer park where he kept sheep and goats in the yard — just blocks away from the local mosque.
In a YouTube video he posted in 2020 for his real estate business, a clean-cut Jabbar described himself as a reliable, trustworthy native Texan who spent 10 years in the military, which taught him “the meaning of great service.”
But later, Jabbar lived in a squalid trailer park on the outskirts of Houston that is home to mostly Muslim immigrants.
Geese, chickens, and sheep roamed freely in Jabbar’s yard when The Post visited hours after the attack.
One neighbor told The Post she spoke only Urdu, Pakistan’s national language.
The neighborhood is also within walking distance of the local mosque, Masjid Bilal — where no one answered the telephone on Wednesday.
Francois Venegas described Jabbar as a “simple person” who kept to himself, though they would occasionally exchange words on the street.
