Las Vegas Cybertruck Explosion Terrorism Suspect Identified
The Army Veteran who blew up a rented Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas has been identified as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger.
Livelsberger served 19 years in the Army, 18 of them were spent with Special Forces as an Intelligence and Operations specialist and Communications specialist, according to his LinkedIn profile.
The Army Veteran lived in Colorado Springs and his home was raided by the FBI late New Year’s Day. Matthew Livelsberger is accused of renting the Tesla Cybertruck in Colorado Springs via the Turo app and driving it to Nevada, where he blew it up, killing himself in the explosion.
Sources told Denver7 that Livelsberger and the New Orleans terrorist suspect Shamsud Din Jabbar served at the same military base.
Early on New Year's Day, Din Jabba rammed a rented vehicle into a crowded area of Bourbon Street, killing at least 15 people and injuring over a dozen others.
The incident in New Orleans forced the posponement of the Sugar Bowl game between Georgia and Notre Dame. That game will be played Thursday at 4 pm ET.
