Bech played football at STM before going on to play at Princeton. He graduated from Princeton in 2021 with a degree in finance and worked as a trader at Seaport Global.
The FBI identified the suspect behind the wheel as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen and Army Veteran who was killed in a shootout with police.
Investigators said that the white truck Jabbar had rented had an ISIS flag on the back when he bypassed a police perimeter and internationally drove into innocent bystanders.
The FBI also revealed that they found improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, in Jabbar’s tuck as well as around the French Quarter.
Alethea Duncan of FBI New Orleans said,
“We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible. We are aggressively running down every lead, including those of his known associates,”
