The driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas was an active-duty US special forces soldier and shot himself before the explosion, officials said.
Las Vegas police have identified Matthew Alan Livelsberger, 37, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, as the driver of the vehicle, which he rented more than 800 miles away and drove to the Nevada hotel on the morning of the blast. Seven people were injured when a vehicle filled with fuel canisters and fireworks exploded on New Year's Day.
Livelsberger's cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to health authorities. The sheriff said investigators recovered a military ID, a passport, two semi-automatic handguns, fireworks, an iPhone, a smartwatch and several credit cards in Livelsberger's name from the burned vehicle.
Livelsberger had decades of experience with the US military, having served in both the Army and National Guard. He was a decorated Special Forces Intelligence sergeant, the BBC reports. Livelsberger's father told CBS News that his son was in Colorado to see his wife and eight-month-old daughter, adding that he had last spoken to him around Christmas.
Also, according to police, it is suspected that this incident in Las Vegas and a truck attack in New Orleans that left 14 victims may be related to each other, as both happened on New Year's Day. Both suspects served at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, although there is no indication that they served in the same unit or were there at the same time. They also served in Afghanistan in 2009, but there is no evidence that they were in the same region or unit. Also, both used the Turo company to rent the vehicles involved in the incidents./ BBC
