SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Celebrations to start off 2025 were dampened by two deadly incidents on New Year's Day: an attack on a New Orleans crowd and a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded in Las Vegas. Although the FBI has said there is "no definitive link" between either the New Orleans attack and the Las Vegas explosion, there is at least one common denominator. Both trucks in these incidents were rented using the San Francisco-based app Turo, a peer-to-peer car-sharing company. Turo released a statement, saying it does not believe that either renter had a criminal background that would have deemed them a security threat. Read the company's full statement below. We are heartbroken by the violence perpetrated in New Orleans and Las Vegas, and our prayers are with the victims and families. We are actively partnering with law enforcement authorities as they investigate both incidents. We do not believe that either renter involved in the Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks had a criminal background that would have identified them as a security threat. We remain committed to maintaining the highest standards in risk management, thanks to our world-class trust and safety technologies and teams that include experienced former law enforcement professionals. Turo Spokesperson What is the Turo car rental app used in New Orleans and Las Vegas attacks? The New Orleans attack, which killed at least 15 people, is being investigated as an act of terrorism. Suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, allegedly used a rented Ford pickup truck to drive into the crowd on Bourbon Street before being shot to death by police. Jabbar was an Army veteran.

The Cybertruck was rented through Turo in Colorado, but authorities have not confirmed if it was rented under Livelsberger's name. Turo, which operates in the United States, Canada, Australia and France, markets itself as an alternative to traditional car rental services, allowing users to “skip the rental car counter” and choose from various vehicles, including luxury and exotic cars, per Newsweek. It has a similar renting platform to Airbnb but for cars. Turo was founded in San Francisco in 2010. Its headquarters is located at 111 Sutter St. If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, you’re encouraged to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.
