The Associated Press, citing law enforcement officials, identified Matthew Revelsberger, an active-duty soldier, as the person killed in the explosion while in a Cybertruck.
The Tesla Cybertruck driven by Revelsberger was parked in front of the entrance of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas at around 8:40 a.m. on the 1st and exploded, injuring seven people nearby.
U.S. investigators are investigating the possibility that the incident followed a terrorist attack in New Orleans, Louisiana, that killed dozens of people in a pickup truck rush on the same day.
So far, the link between the two cases has not been revealed, but the connection to the Trump hotel explosion is drawing attention given that Shamsud Dean Zabar, the suspect in the New Orleans case, is a veteran.
Earlier, in a public statement, President Biden said he was investigating the connection between the New Orleans car crash and the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion, but said he had nothing to reveal yet.
