New details have reinforced suspicions of a connection between the two tragic events that have shocked the US in the first days of the new year.
Authorities are looking into military ties between Shamsood Din Jabbar, the 42-year-old who killed 15 people in New Orleans, and Matthew Livelsberger, the 37-year-old who drove a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside a hotel owned by Donald Trump in Las Vegas.
According to reports from ABC, the two men had served at the same military base, a fact that has prompted further investigations into a "possible military connection" between them.
Livelsberger, who hails from Colorado, is suspected of being the driver of the Cybertruck that exploded in the Las Vegas incident.
Meanwhile, new details about Jabbar's past point to a long career in the US armed forces. He had served from March 2007 to January 2015 as a Human Resources Specialist and then as an Information Technology Specialist, including a mission in Afghanistan.
Jabbar had been serving as a tech reservist since July 2020, reaching the rank of sergeant.
Another element linking the two incidents is the fact that both Jabbar and Livelsberger rented the vehicles used in their attacks, a white SUV and a Tesla Cybertruck, through the same app, Turo.
American security authorities are deepening investigations to clarify the motives and connections between these two tragic events, which have shocked public opinion.
