Army Soldier Behind Cybertruck Explosion Outside Trump Hotel: Report

The man who died in an explosion outside President-elect Donald Trump’s hotel in Nevada on Wednesday was reportedly identified as a U.S. Army soldier.

Two law enforcement officials anonymously told the Associated Press that Matthew Livelsberger is a Green Beret who has served in the Army since 2006. Though Livelsberger was on active duty, he was reportedly on approved leave when he packed a Tesla Cybertruck full of explosives and it exploded outside of a Trump-owned hotel in Las Vegas.

Though officials have not made any public identifications, the FBI said law enforcement is at a home in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Meanwhile, Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said the Cybertruck was rented from a Turo in Colorado.
