Suspect identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42 , was "hell-bent" on killing as many people as possible, officials say.

Jabbar was a U.S.-born citizen from Texas , sources say.

FBI in Houston and Harris County , Texas , Sheriff's Office are conducting search warrants in New Orleans and other states.

At least 15 people were killed in the New Orleans attack on Bourbon Street .

The FBI is studying the videos Biden referenced in his remarks, which the suspect appears to have recorded while driving from Texas to Louisiana .

The videos are dark so the suspect isn't seen but he can be heard talking about his divorce and a desire to kill members of his family before ultimately deciding to carry out the attack.

Rep. Troy Carter , D-Louisiana, said earlier Wednesday that the number of people killed in the incident had risen from 10 to 15 .
