The person had been using the Shanu account on behalf of Shanu Transportation, a registered transportation company that is only approved to move property, Kholmurod Halimov, the Shanu Transportation owner named in the lawsuit, told Colorado Newsline that he let a friend use the Shanu Lyft account. He surmised that the man who drove Willford was a friend’s brother.
