The vehicles used in two separate incidents, the deadly New Orleans attack and explosion in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, were rented via the same app, a peer-to-peer service called Turo, the company said.
Authorities are looking into several parallels between the incidents, including that both involved trucks — a Ford pickup in New Orleans and Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas — were rented from Turo and occured on New Year's Day. Both also involved U.S.-born military servicemen who served in Afghanistan around the same timeframe.
