According to the article, the suspect may have been picking up fares for Uber while shooting people, so his employer does appear to be relevant to the timeline.

Also, Uber was mentioned in a quote by a law enforcement officer, as being part of the context of the investigation:

    While the company did not address reports that Dalton picked up and dropped off 
    customers Saturday night, authorities told CNN that it was "certainly part 
    of our investigation."

    "We're looking into his connection to Uber and whether or not he was picking up 
    fares in between the shootings," said Public Safety Chief Jeff Hadley. 
If the shooter had possibly been delivering pizzas for Pizza Hut in the same context, his employer would have been mentioned as well. Certainly a quote by law enforcement mentioning his employer would have been used. This isn't a hit piece against Uber, this is reporting being done the way reporting is usually done.

And if he was campaigning for Hillary between the shootings, that would also be relevant?

EDIT: on the second thought... yes, it would.
