The Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion suspect was a "No Labels" voter with no "animosity" towards Trump.
According to the El Paso County, Colo., clerk's office, Matthew Livelsberger joined the No Labels party in 2020.
The U.S. Army soldier who killed himself and destroyed a Tesla Cybertruck near the Trump Hotel Las Vegas had no hatred towards President-elect Donald Trump.
On Friday afternoon, during a press conference, Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department disclosed new information about the investigation into Matthew Livelsberger, the 37-year-old man who shot himself in the head and then detonated a rented Tesla Cybertruck on New Year's Day.
McMahill was able to recover a journal of his movements leading up to his death from one of his two phones, and they also received a manifesto indicating that he was suffering from PTSD and had no animosity towards Trump.
Although Livelsberger appeared to have no animosity towards the president-elect, his voting history showed that he was a "No Labels" voter.
The party claims to be a "nationwide group of Americans from both sides of the political spectrum who reject extremism, embrace practicality, and believe that America thrives when people come together."
The group declares that their objective is to empower the middle class in Washington and throughout the country, asserting that their work has never been more critical.
The El Paso County clerk's office in Colorado confirmed to Planet Chronicle Digital that Livelsberger registered with the No Labels party in 2020. However, his registration was canceled before he re-registered in July 2024.
The clerk's office also noted that Livelsberger voted in the last election.
Officials refused to comment on Trump's "No Labels" voter status, stating that they were still investigating his past, but emphasized that he did not seem to have any animosity towards Trump.
A U.S. Army special operations soldier named Livelsberger had multiple addresses and was on leave from Germany, where he was serving with the 10th Special Forces Group.
Previously, a spokesperson for the Army informed Planet Chronicle that Livelsberger had started serving in the Army in January 2006 and attained the rank of master sergeant.
Livelsberger was stationed at Fort Bragg, a large Army base in North Carolina that houses the Army Special Forces Command.
From March 2011 to July 2012, Livelsberger served in the National Guard, and from July 2012 to December 2012, he was a member of the Army Reserve. The U.S. Army Special Operations Command verified that Livelsberger was on leave at the time of his death.
McMahill stated that while this incident is more public and sensational than usual, it seems to be a tragic case of suicide involving a decorated combat veteran who is grappling with PTSD and other issues.
