Man seen surrendering to SWAT outside of Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s home in NW Harris County

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – Federal and local law enforcement agencies are at a property in north Harris County conducting activity they say is connected to the investigation into the attack in New Orleans New Year’s Day.

FBI Houston says they along with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office are near the intersection of Hugh Road and Crescent Peak Drive.

Authorities have created a perimeter and are asking people to avoid the area.

KPRC 2 witnessed a SWAT team showing up at the property. At least four kids and five adults were seen being brought out of a house at a neighboring property.

Not long afterwards, a man was seen coming out of a house with his hands up as officers had guns drawn. He appears to have been taken into custody.

Public records list the address of the home as the place where the suspect in the attack in New Orleans lived.

The FBI says personnel and specialized teams will be on-site for several hours.

While they confirmed the activity is connected to the investigation into the New Orleans attack, they could not provide further information due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.
