In a video posted on YouTube four years ago, Jabbar -- speaking with a southern US accent -- boasted of his skills as a “fierce negotiator” as he advertised his property management services to potential clients.
He deployed to Afghanistan from February 2009 until January 2010, an army spokesperson said, adding that he held the rank of Staff Sergeant at the end of his service. Earlier the FBI had said it believed he was honorably discharged.
Jabbar was twice-married, according to the newspaper, with his second marriage ending in divorce in 2022, when he detailed experiencing financial problems in an email to his wife's lawyer.
A man named Abdur Jabbar, in Beaumont, Texas, told The New York Times he was the suspect's brother and described him as “a sweetheart really, a nice guy, a friend, really smart, caring.”
President Joe Biden told reporters that, hours before the attack, Jabbar shared videos online that indicated he was “inspired by ISIS,“ citing information from detectives and using another name for the Islamic State armed group.
Georgia State University confirmed to AFP that a person named Shamsud-Din Jabbar attended the university from 2015-2017, graduating with a bachelor's degree in computer systems.
He said that with this experience, he “learned the meaning of great service and what it means to be responsive and take everything seriously, dotting I’s and crossing T’s to make sure that things go off without a hitch.”
Authorities said he crashed the vehicle, then opened fire and was killed in a shootout with police.
