LAS VEGAS (AP) — Law enforcement officials say the person who died in the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck packed with explosives outside President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel was an active-duty U.S. Army soldier.
The officials told The Associated Press on Thursday that they had identified the man as Matthew Livelsberger.
The officials spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation.
