Police have identified the driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump International Hotel Las Vegas as Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active-duty U.S. Army soldier. While the body is burnt beyond recognition, authorities are confident it is Livelsberger based on various evidence including a passport, driver's license, tattoo, and military identification found at the scene.
The driver of a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on Wednesday was identified through photos from charging stations, a passport, driver’s license and a tattoo on his arm, according to police officials. Police identified the person of interest as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, an active-duty U.S. Army special operations soldier from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a press conference on Thursday that while substantial evidence exists to suggest Livelsberger was in fact the person in the truck when it blew up, the body is burnt beyond recognition, and he still does not have confirmation through DNA or through medical records that it is in fact him. Still, the investigation that has been conducted since the truck exploded in front of the Trump hotel at about 8:40 a.m., killing Livelsberger and injuring seven others, has uncovered various pieces of evidence. Investigators discovered a military identification card, a passport, Desert Eagle .50 caliber semi-automatic pistol, and another semi-automatic weapon. McMahill said a lot of the guns discovered were burnt beyond recognition. Investigators also found an iPhone, smartwatch and several credit cards with the subject’s name on them. While the subject’s body was burnt beyond recognition, McMahill also said the individual sustained a gunshot wound to the head prior to its detonation, and one of the handguns was found at his feet inside the vehicle. McMahill said the subject had a tattoo on his arm, portions of which could be seen on the charred body. 'That has given us a lot of confidence that this is, in fact, the same person,' McMahill said, also noting the credit cards, military identification and a passport helped come to that determinatio
