The man in the Cybertruck that exploded outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas is believed to be an elite military man

Seven people were injured as a result of the explosion after a car full of fuel cans and firecrackers exploded. Officials said all injuries were minor.

Authorities said they have yet to determine a motive.

“I’m comfortable calling it a suicide with the explosion immediately following,” Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a press conference Thursday afternoon.

Livelsberger rented the Cybertruck on December 28 in Denver, Colorado. He has decades of experience in the US military, having served in the Army and National Guard.

He started active military service as a special forces soldier in December 2012.

The US military said he was on approved leave at the time of his death.

Livelsberger’s father spoke to BBC news partner CBS and said his son was currently serving in Germany and was on leave to visit Colorado and see his wife and eight-month-old daughter.

Livelsberger’s father said he last spoke to his son around Christmas and everything seemed normal.
