Authorities employ tattoo analysis and photographs to trace the perpetrator responsible for the Cybertruck blast at the Trump hotel.

Police officials identified the driver of a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on Wednesday through photos from charging stations, a passport, driver's license, and a tattoo on his arm.

Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active-duty U.S. Army special operations soldier from Colorado Springs, Colorado, was identified as the person of interest by police.

During a press conference on Thursday, Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill stated that although there is substantial evidence to suggest that Livelsberger was in the truck when it exploded, the body is too burnt to be recognized, and he still lacks confirmation through DNA or medical records that it is indeed him.

Since the truck exploded in front of the Trump hotel at about 8:40 a.m., killing Livelsberger and injuring seven others, an investigation has been conducted and various pieces of evidence have been uncovered.

A military identification card, passport, Desert Eagle .50 caliber semi-automatic pistol, and another semi-automatic weapon were discovered by investigators.

McMahill said a lot of the guns discovered were burnt beyond recognition.

Several items belonging to the subject were discovered by investigators, including an iPhone, smartwatch, and credit cards.

McMahill stated that the subject's body was unrecognizable due to burns, but he also sustained a gunshot wound to the head before the explosion. Additionally, one of the handguns was discovered near the subject's feet inside the vehicle.

Portions of a tattoo on the charred body were visible, according to McMahill.

McMahill stated that the credit cards, military identification, and passport provided a lot of confidence that the person in question is indeed the same individual.

The Cybertruck rented through the Turo app was tracked using photographs, revealing Livelsberger as the driver.

To this point, investigators have only seen Livelsberger inside the truck and are unaware of any other individuals involved in this case.

The sheriff stated that Livelsberger rented the truck on Dec. 28 and visited several charging stations, including Monument, Colorado; Trinidad, Colorado; Las Vegas, New Mexico; Gallup, New Mexico; Flagstaff, Arizona; and Kingman, Arizona.

The truck was first spotted in Las Vegas just before 7:30 a.m., while Livelsberger's last charge was in Kingman, occurring just after 5:30 a.m.

The video of the truck moving throughout Las Vegas, driving up and down the strip, pulling into the Trump hotel's valet, leaving the hotel, and returning at about 8:40 a.m. showed the truck exploding in the valet area of the hotel seventeen seconds later.

In New Orleans, a man in a truck with an ISIS flag plowed into a crowd on Bourbon Street, killing over a dozen people and injuring dozens more on the same morning.

Turo was also used by Shamsud Din Jabbar, the driver of the truck, to rent the vehicle.

According to McMahill, both Livelsberger and Din Jabbar were stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, despite no evidence indicating they served there simultaneously.

Though there is no evidence that both men were in the same province, location, or unit in Afghanistan in 2009, he stated that they both served there that year.

Livelsberger, a Green Beret operations sergeant, spent most of his time at Fort Carson, Colorado, and in Germany. McMahill stated that Livelsberger was granted leave from Germany, where he was serving with a special forces group. Prior to his current service, Livelsberger had experience in the National Guard and Army Reserve.
