Summary
Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Army veteran from Colorado Springs, has been identified as the driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day.
Livelsberger died in the blast, which injured seven people with minor injuries.
Authorities are investigating the explosion as a potential act of terror, noting Livelsberger’s military connection to Shamsud Din Jabbar, the suspect in the deadly New Orleans attack hours earlier.
Firework mortars and fuel canisters were found in the truck, with no confirmed motive yet.
Up until this article I legitimately assumed that’s what was happening in the image. I don’t understand what message the suspect was trying to send, but the investigators seem confident it was intentional, I guess.
Another article says the body had an apparent self-inflicted gunshot to the head, which resolved any doubt I had.
