The man who died Wednesday in the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in front
of President-elect Donald Trump's hotel in Las Vegas was a senior enlisted
officer in the Special Forces, according to a statement from the Army.
Master Sgt. Matthew Alan Livelsberger enlisted in January 2006 as an 18X,
or a candidate for Special Forces. He was active duty until 2011 when he
joined the National Guard. He spent a little more than a year in the
guard, from March 2011 to July 2012, the statement said. From July 2012 to
December 2012, he served in the Army Reserve.
Vehicles with the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrived at a townhouse
complex in northeast Colorado Springs on Thursday morning connected to
Livelsberger, as authorities continued the investigation into the
explosion. At around 7:30 a.m., multiple FBI vehicles were seen at the
5400 block of Carvel Grove, near the corner of Stetson Hills Boulevard and
Marksheffel Road.
Records show Livelsberger was connected to multiple Colorado Springs
addresses.
The FBI confirmed on its social media Thursday morning that it was working
with the Denver Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives along with Colorado Springs police at an address in
Colorado Springs.
"FBI Denver personnel and specialized teams will be on-site for several
hours," the social media post on X said. "This activity is related to the
explosion in Las Vegas on Wednesday."
Livelsberger served in the Green Berets, highly trained special forces who
work to counter terrorism abroad and train partners, the Army said in a
statement to The Associated Press.
After Livelsberger's short time with both the National Guard and Army
Reserve, he returned to active duty in December 2012 as a special
operations soldier, the Army's statement said.
He was assigned to U.S. Army Special Operations Command, and he was on
approved leave at the time of his death. The command is cooperating with
the investigation, but will not comment on it, the statement said.
The Associated Press reported that Livelsberger had a long career of
overseas assignments, deploying twice to Afghanistan and serving in
Ukraine, Tajikistan, Georgia and Congo, the Army said. He was awarded two
Bronze Stars, including one with a valor device for courage under fire, a
combat infantry badge and an Army Commendation Medal with valor.
The Las Vegas explosion of the truck, which contained firework mortars and
camp fuel canisters in the pickup bed, came hours after 42-year-old
Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar rammed a truck into a crowd in New Orleans famed
French Quarter early on New Years Day, killing at least 15 people before
being shot to death by police. That incident is being investigated as a
terrorist attack. Authorities said on Wednesday they did not think he
acted alone but updated that statement Thursday, saying they now believe
he was a lone attacker.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.
Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
