Authorities have revealed that Matthew Livelsberger, 37, shot himself in the head moments before his Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside Trump Tower in Las Vegas.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill confirmed on Thursday that Livelsberger’s body was so badly burned in the explosion that identification was only possible through his tattoos, Daily Mail reported.
Credit cards, a military ID, and his passport were also found on his person, but DNA confirmation is still pending.
Senior law enforcement sources confirmed to KOAA news outlet that Livelsberger was the driver of the Cybertruck used in the attack.
Authorities believe the blast was triggered by a detonation system controlled by Livelsberger, who died in the attack.
A LinkedIn profile believed to belong to Livelsberger paints a chilling picture, as reported by other news media.
The suspect served in the elite Green Berets, the U.S. Army’s Special Forces unit, renowned for its expertise in unconventional warfare. More alarmingly, the profile indicates Livelsberger was still actively employed by the U.S. Army as a Remote and Autonomous Systems Manager, a role he reportedly held for three months leading up to the attack.
According to CNN, Livelsberger was still an active-duty U.S. Special Forces soldier currently stationed in Germany with the 10th Special Forces Group and on active leave.
This is a developing story.
