The man who drove a Tesla into the Trump hotel in Las Vegas shot himself in the head before the Cybertruck blew up, officials revealed.
The body of Matthew Livelsberger, 37, was burned beyond recognition in the explosion and was identified through his tattoos, Sheriff Kevin McMahill said on Thursday.
Police found credit cards, his passport and military ID on him, but they are still referring to him as a person of interest as they await DNA confirmation.
The weapons found in the truck were purchased legally on December 30, 2024.
Police are still looking for a motive for the attack.
Sheriff McMahill addressed similarities between the terror act in Vegas and the one in New Orleans.
Both served at the same military base in North Carolina, but officials do not know if they ever crossed paths.
Moreover, both also served in Afghanistan in 2009 – however officials say they have seen no evidence they were in the same providence or unit. That remains under investigation.
