CBSN
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.
But on Thursday, an FBI official, Christopher Raia, said that at this point, there's "no definitive link" between the two occurences.
