The suspect in the Cybertruck explosion attack outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas is believed to have served at the same military base as the suspect in the New Orleans attack.
According to the New York Post, 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger was the driver of the Cybertruck. He worked as a remote and autonomous systems manager for the Army, where he was responsible for the “operations, maintenance and integration” of military drones.
U.S. Army officials told News5 that Livelsberger “enlisted as an 18X and served in the active duty Army from January 2006 to March 2011. Livelsberger then joined the National Guard from March 2011 to July 2012, followed by the Army Reserve from July 2012 to December 2012. He entered the active duty Army in December 2012 and was a U.S. Army Special Operations Soldier.”
“Additionally, U.S. Army Special Operations Command can confirm Livelsberger was assigned to the command and on approved leave at the time of his death,” the statement continued. “USASOC is in full cooperation with federal and state law enforcement agencies, but as a matter of policy, will not comment on ongoing investigations.”
Denver7 reporter Tony Kovaleski said Livelsberger served at the same military base as New Orleans attack suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
“Sources also confirming Livelsberger served at the same military base as the terrorist responsible for the attack in New Orleans and authorities are investigating a possible connection between the two men,” Kovaleski reported.
The Associated Press reported that Jabbar joined the Army in 2007 and deployed to Afghanistan from 2009 to 2010. He transferred to the Army Reserve in 2015. In 2020, he left with the rank of staff sergeant.
