FBI New Orleans released a new photo showing Shamsud-Din Jabbar riding a bicycle through the city’s French Quarter back in October, during a possible scouting mission before the terror attack in which he drove a pickup truck through a crowd of pedestrians on New Year’s and opened fire on police.

The attack killed 14 revelers and injured more than 30 others. Jabbar died in a shootout with responding officers.

The photo shows Jabbar riding a bicycle and wearing what could be a pair of Meta smart glasses, which investigators say he used to stream and record videos. It was taken on Halloween – another holiday where Americans are known to step outside in droves to celebrate.

Anyone with information on the attack or Jabbar, or who was on Bourbon Street for New Year’s – or who was in the French Quarter between 2 and 6 p.m. on Oct. 31, is asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Tips, including photos and videos, can also be submitted online.

Prior to the early morning attack on Jan. 1, he planted two coolers packed with IEDs. They did not detonate.

At 3:17 a.m., he sped around a parked police vehicle and began mowing down pedestrians.
