LAS VEGAS (FOX5/Gray News) – Las Vegas police shared additional information on Tuesday, as well as new video that shows the moments leading up to a Cybertruck explosion on New Year’s Day.
The investigation into the explosion that happened in the valet area of the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas has reached its second week.
The driver, who police identified as Matthew Livelsberger, died.
The explosion also injured several others.
Authorities say Livelsberger was an active-duty soldier from Colorado Springs.
Last week, police shared two letters that were on one of two phones found with Livelsberger.
The soldier called for America to “wake up,” and also said that the country was “terminally ill and headed toward collapse.”
During an update on Tuesday, authorities shared a six-page manifesto that was discovered, which includes artificial intelligence searches on ChatGPT that Livelsberger made to plan the explosion.
Police confirmed Livelsberger died by suicide.
“This investigation is far from over,” police added.
Officials said they are working to review another phone and a laptop that were found in the Cybertruck.
The explosion took place only hours after another driver, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, rammed a truck into a crowd in New Orleans’ famed French Quarter early on New Year’s Day, killing at least 14 people before he was shot to death by police.
