Las Vegas police have identified Matthew Alan Livelsberger as the man they believe to have been inside the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded in front of the Trump International Hotel on Wednesday.

They say Livelsberger, an active-duty US special forces soldier, rented the vehicle and drove it from Las Vegas from Colorado.

The case and motive of the explosion is still under investigation, but parallels have been drawn between the subject in the Cybertruck explosion and the suspect involved in the New Orleans attack on New Year's Day.
