A decorated U.S. Army soldier, Matthew Livelsberger, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound before his Tesla Cybertruck exploded near the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day.
Livelsberger, aged 37, left behind notes indicating that he viewed the explosion as a "wake-up call" to draw attention to what he perceived as grave societal issues, stating, "Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence."
Investigators have uncovered a series of personal and political grievances in Livelsberger’s writings, revealing his struggles with PTSD and a sense of mental anguish related to his military service.
The explosion resulted in minor injuries to seven bystanders, with no serious damage to the hotel. Authorities confirmed that Livelsberger acted alone, with no connection to recent violent incidents.
The Las Vegas Police have prompted a thorough investigation into Livelsberger's mental health history and possible motivations behind what they now classify as a tragic case of suicide, compounded by unresolved personal conflicts.
