Multiple informed sources told ABC affiliate Denver 7 and KOAA News that Livelsberger, 37, a former Army veteran of Colorado Springs, was behind the wheel of the vehicle that exploded outside the Trump International Hotel at Las Vegas Boulevard and Sammy Davis Jr. Drive at 8:40 a.m. on Wednesday. Livelsberger died in the blast, according to the sources. Police are yet to officially confirm the identity of the deceased individual. Seven people sustained injuries, Las Vegas County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said in a news conference. Two of the casualties were taken to University Medical Center Southern Nevada. All injuries are minor, the sheriff said. The suspect is believed to have rented the silver Tesla Cybertuck in Colorado via the carsharing company Turo. open image in gallery Flames rise from a Tesla Cybertruck after it exploded outside the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, in Las Vegas, on January 1 (Alcides Antunes via REUTERS) McMahill noted that officials are “very well aware” of the New Orleans attack in which Texas resident Shamsud Din Jabbar rammed a truck into a crowd of people celebrating New Year’s Eve just hours earlier, killing at least 15 people. Livelsberger and Jabbar allegedly served at the same military base, sources told Denver7. Sources also told the outlet that multiple addresses had been associated with the alleged suspect, with the FBI awaiting a search warrant for one residence on Marksheffel Road late Wednesday. The Burea of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Exploves have been brought in to assist, according to reports. Authorities continue to investigate the explosion as a possible act of terror, an official with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told ABC News, but a potential motive is not yet known. “At this time, we are investigating a number of leads, and I’m not prepared to release any of that information to you just yet. I can tell you that there are seven victims right now that sustained injuries from the explosion,” McMahill said. open image in gallery
