Thats the Vegas guy, The NO guy was definitely a vet, honorably discharged.
It seems a little too coincidental. Both in EV trucks (the NO was a F150 Lightning), both rented from Turo, both military people...on the same day...

Yes I did notice it and wondered for a second, 2 EV trucks....

A family member and former Army colleague described Livelsberger as a highly decorated combat veteran whose background in special forces and explosives seemed at odds with an impotent attack that relied, in part, on fireworks.
And, they said, Livelsberger had a strong love of country – particularly the president-elect.
“When President Trump was in office (Livelsberger) would comment on his Facebook page about the things President Trump had said or done or how he’s helping the military,” the relative, who asked not to be named, told CNN. “Matt had a lot of respect for Mr. Trump – he just loved the guy.”
