Missouri man charged after bomb-making tutorials were allegedly used in New Orleans attack
Federal prosecutors say Derrick’s videos were used by the New Orleans attacker and may have helped a separate Missouri explosion.
- On Tuesday, federal prosecutors in Missouri charged Jordan Derrick with distributing instructional bomb-making videos that investigators allege were used by Shamsud-Din Jabbar to build explosive devices for the January 1, 2025, New Orleans attack.
- Jabbar, an Army veteran inspired by the Islamic State, killed 14 people and injured about 30 on Bourbon Street after downloading tutorials from Derrick's social media accounts to create devices the U.S. Attorney's Office said were consistent with the videos.
- Federal authorities also linked Derrick's tutorials to a May 4, 2026, explosion at a private residence in Odessa, Missouri, where the occupant admitted making explosive devices after watching the online videos.
- Derrick faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted on charges including manufacturing explosives and distributing related information, marking the first time investigators have charged another person in the New Orleans attack.
- Investigators previously believed Jabbar acted alone, yet the FBI continues to review the case. Although the New Orleans devices did not detonate, law enforcement rendered them safe after the attack.
