Overview
- The FBI, which issued an update Thursday, said Ndiaga Diagne was a lone actor with no foreign direction, funding, or support.
- In the March 1 attack, he killed three people and wounded 15 outside Buford’s on Austin’s Sixth Street before police shot him dead within about a minute of the first 911 call.
- Investigators say he admired Iran’s late leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and wore an Iranian-flag shirt with a sweatshirt reading “Property of Allah” during the shooting.
- He fired first from a black Cadillac SUV and then on foot using a handgun and a rifle he had bought legally in 2017.
- The probe has tapped about 400 personnel across 14 field offices who reviewed thousands of videos and millions of digital files, yet agents still have no clear motive or reason he chose that location.
