On December 28, Livelsberger rented the Cybertruck in Denver and drove it to Las Vegas. The truck exploded due to its cargo of fuel canisters and firework mortars, injuring seven people, though thankfully these injuries were reported as minor. The investigation is ongoing, and while Sheriff Kevin McMahill is leaning toward ruling the incident a suicide with an associated bombing, the full motive remains unclear. Livelsberger's father expressed shock, noting their last conversation during Christmas showed no signs of distress. More updates on this evolving story will follow as information becomes available.
