The wife of the man suspected to have blown up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas broke up with him just six days before the explosion Wednesday morning, law enforcement sources told the New York Post. Identified as Matthew Livelsberger, the 37-year-old is said to have left his home in Colorado Springs on Dec. 26 after getting into an argument with his wife about his infidelity, sources told the Post. After leaving his home, Las Vegas police say that Livelsberger rented the Tesla vehicle through the Turo app and drove to Nevada, where he parked in front of the Trump Hotel on New Year’s Day. He then detonated explosives stashed in the truck and shot himself in the head. One of Livelsberger’s relatives spoke to CBS News and also claimed that his wife, with whom he shares a baby daughter, had not heard from him in several days. Police are still investigating a motive for the attack.
