Plaintiffs argue that the timing of construction left vulnerable gaps in security, effectively creating a “soft target” that attacker Shamsud-Din Jabbar exploited when he drove a rented pickup truck through a crowded Bourbon Street, killing 14 people and injuring dozens more.

New Orleans law firm Maples & Connick, LLC partnered with Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin, LLC to investigate the city of New Orleans, New Orleans Police Department and others after 14 people were left dead in the terror attack.
