Law enforcement provided new details today on another disturbing incident from yesterday,

a cyber truck that exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

Police identified the man who was driving the truck as 37-year-old Matthew Livelyelsberger,

an active duty member of the Army's elite special forces.

Police said that he shot himself in the head before a device

detonated a combination of fireworks, gas, and camping fuel in the bed of the vehicle. Joe

Shaneman of Nevada Public Radio has been reporting on this, and I spoke with him earlier.

Joe, welcome to the News Hour. Thank you for being with us. So we now know the identity of this suspect. What more did law enforcement have to say today about who this guy is and more about his background?

Well, he has an extensive career in the military, beginning in 2006. He was a Green Beret, and I'm going to take a look at some of my notes here,

a Green Beret active duty special operations soldier. He'd been based in Germany. He was back on

approved leave in Fort Collins, Colorado when he rented this cyber truck through this organization or through this company called

Turo.

And he just has an extensive, extensive 19-year military background with no previous issues

and no criminal activity that they could find in his background.

So one of the biggest questions people have had is whether there's any kind of connection

between what happened here in this particular incident and also the attack in New Orleans.

Did law enforcement have anything to say about that today?

They really did.

You know, Sheriff Kevin McMayhill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said he knows,

and they've all been watching what's happening on social media.

They're reading everything, and people are making these connections because both of these men

had once been stationed in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
