The person who died when a Tesla Cybertruck packed with explosives burst into flames outside the hotel in Las Vegas part-owned by Donald Trump was a highly decorated US army Green Beret who was deployed twice to Afghanistan, officials have said.
The driver and lone occupant of the electric-powered Tesla Cybertruck that caught fire and exploded has been identified as Matthew Livelsberger, from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Livelsberger, 37, died, while seven bystanders were wounded. Livelsberger was first identified in media reports. On Thursday afternoon the FBI said it believed the suspect was Livelsberger – his military ID was found in the vehicle, and officials said tattoos gave a strong indication the body was his – and was waiting for DNA tests to confirm this.
