The FBI announced on Friday that the Cybertruck bombing outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day was believed to be the result of the suicide of a veteran grappling with PTSD and other challenges. Spencer Evans, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Las Vegas office, made the declaration during a news conference, noting that there was no indication that the bombing was linked to the deadly terror incident in New Orleans earlier on the same day.
Evans stated, “The only things that we have connecting them are incidental, what we believe to be coincidental, similarities.” These similarities, as outlined by Evans, included the fact that both vehicles involved were rented through the same service, the perpetrators had military service backgrounds, and they were both staying at an Airbnb. He further clarified that there was no record of communication between the individuals via phone or email, and no evidence to suggest that they were acquainted, served together, or had any prior interaction.
The driver of the Cybertruck was identified as Matthew Alan Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active duty member of the Army Special Forces. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department revealed that Livelsberger had shot himself in the head before the bombing occurred. The FBI confirmed that there was no known connection between Livelsberger and any terrorist organization. Despite the incident taking place outside a Trump hotel, Evans emphasized that Livelsberger did not harbor any ill will towards President-elect Donald Trump.
According to Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas police department, the Cybertruck had been rented in Denver by Livelsberger. The investigation continues, with authorities working to unravel the details surrounding the tragic event. Please stay tuned for updates.
