Abdur-Rahmin, Shamsud’s brother said that he became an Islamist at a young age and blamed the “radicalization” for his family’s outburst with Shamsud eventually going onto shift into a Muslim neighborhood after being born and raised in Beaumont, Texas. Abdur said he had to tell their father, who recently suffered a stroke, about what his brother did.
Court documents show that he was married and divorced twice to women named Nakedra Jabbar and Shaneen Jabbar.
After leaving active-duty military service almost ten years ago, Jabbar reportedly had difficulty transitioning to civilian life after divorcing his first wife, Nakedra Charrlle Marsh, in 2012.
Dwayne Marsh is now married to Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s ex-wife Nakedra Charrlle and Jabbar and Charrlle had two daughters, ages 15 and 20. Shamsud also had a six year old son.
Records show that Jabbar was married twice, with his first marriage, to Charrlle, ending in 2012 and was in the midst of a second divorce in January 2022 during which Jabbar wrote an email to his wife’s lawyer in which he described financial problems. In a court document from August 2022, he said he worked at the accounting firm Deloitte and made about $120,000 a year and was also interested in working in real estate and cryptocurrency.
Jabbar had divorced twice and his first wife sued him in 2012 over child support soon after he filed for divorce and in 2020, a Texas judge granted Jabbar’s second wife a restraining order against him during their divorce case. The order mandated Jabbar to refrain from threats, physical harm, or other stipulated behavior against his ex-wife and their children.
Muslim American Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42 was a native of Texas. While he and his family had grown up around Christians, Shamsud had converted to Islam later on as per his brother Abdur.
