Colorado Springs suspect in Cybertruck explosion was Special Forces

The man who died Wednesday in the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in front of President-elect Donald Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas was a senior enlisted officer in the Special Forces, according to a statement from the Army.

Master Sgt. Matthew Alan Livelsberger enlisted in January 2006 as an 18X, or a candidate for Special Forces. He was active duty until 2011 when he joined the National Guard. He spent a little more than a year in the guard, from March 2011 to July 2012, the statement said. From July 2012 to December 2012, he served in the Army Reserve.
