A US Army soldier from Colorado has been identified as the driver killed in a Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Authorities believe the soldier, Matthew Livelsberger, acted alone in the incident that also injured seven people.
Law enforcement officials on Thursday said a U.S. Army soldier from Colorado was likely the person inside a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas , leaving the driver dead and seven people with minor injuries. The FBI said it had so far found no definitive link between the New Year's Day New Orleans truck attack that killed 15 people and the Cybertruck explosion on the same day.
The FBI said it was not yet clear whether the Las Vegas blast was an act of terrorism. Authorities believe Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active-duty Army soldier from Colorado Springs, was inside the vehicle when gasoline canisters and large firework mortars in the truck bed exploded and that he acted alone. The body was burned beyond recognition and investigators were awaiting confirmation from DNA evidence and medical records. The person in the Cybertruck shot himself in the head immediately before explosives in the vehicle were detonated, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference. A handgun was found at his feet. It was one of two semi-automatic handguns found in the Cybertruck, both of which were lawfully purchased by Livelsberger on Dec. 30. Law enforcement also found military identification, a passport, an iPhone and credit cards in the truck. Livelsberger was assigned to the Army Special Operations Command and was on approved leave at the time of his death, an Army official said. The Army Special Operations Command would not comment on an ongoing investigation, a spokesperson said. A U.S. official told Reuters that Livelsberger had been awarded a Bronze Star for valor and an Army commendation for valor, along with a Combat Infantryman Badge. He completed five combat deployments to Afghanistan, the official said
