Police identify Matthew Livelsberger as suspect in Tesla bombing

Published



The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said Thursday they are still unable to confirm that 37-year-old Matthew Alan Livelsberger, an active-duty soldier in the Army, was the dead man found inside an exploded Tesla Cybertruck.

“His body was burned beyond recognition, and I do still not have confirmation 100% that he is the individual that was inside of [the] vehicle,” Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a press conference Thursday afternoon. “And so, as I’m calling it now, a subject or person of interest, I will not come back until I have the confirmation through DNA or medical records that this is, indeed, the subject inside of the vehicle.”
