2025 Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion
2025 Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion

On January 1, 2025, at approximately 8:39 a.m. (PST), the contents of a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the main entrance of the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, United States. The vehicle's sole occupant died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head immediately prior to the explosion and seven bystanders were injured by the blast. Authorities found that the vehicle contained firework mortars and gas canisters, which fueled the explosion and fire. Authorities identified the driver and alleged perpetrator as Matthew Alan Livelsberger, an American-born, active-duty United States Army Special Forces soldier from Colorado Springs, Colorado, who was on leave from overseas duty. Livelsberger wrote two letters, recovered by the FBI from his burnt phone, in which he denied being a terrorist but admitted using explosives to convey a political message and ease his mental burdens. On December 31, 2024, Livelsberger also sent an email manifesto to Samuel Shoemate, a retired Army intelligence officer, claiming he was under surveillance by U.S. intelligence agencies due to his knowledge of advanced military technologies and covert operations, including an alleged cover-up of war crimes resulting from U.S. airstrikes on drug facilities in May 2019 in Nimruz Province, Afghanistan. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) had investigated the airstrikes and concluded that they were not lawful targets. U.S. Forces in Afghanistan rebutted that the Taliban-controlled drug facility was targeted under domestic rules allowing strikes on facilities generating revenue for enemy combatants and that precautions to avoid civilian casualties were taken. The manifesto narrative, which detailed plans to escape across the Mexico border amid fears of being stopped by intelligence agents, showed no suicidal intent and conflicts with the two digital letters apparently authored earlier that month, which focus on a personal mental health crisis rather than the whistleblowing and clandestine operations outlined in the manifesto. The truck explosion was one of two vehicular attacks that occurred in the United States on the first day of 2025, the other being the New Orleans truck attack just hours earlier. Authorities consider the two unrelated.

Las Vegas Walk of Stars

The Las Vegas Walk of Stars, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, started in October 2004 to honor the people who helped make Vegas famous. The stars are located along a 4-mile stretch on both sides of Las Vegas Blvd between Sahara Ave and Russell Rd. Wayne Newton was first to be honored on October 26, 2004, followed in 2005 by Frank Marino, Liberace, Rich Little, Line Renaud and Dick Jensen. In 2010, Frank Marino became the first entertainer to have earned induction into the Walk of Stars twice. In 2010, Cuban music icons Gloria Estefan and Emilio Estefan were the first couple recognized, who shared a star. In 2011, Mexican power couple Jenni Rivera and Esteban Loaiza were the second couple to be recognized by the Las Vegas Strip attraction. On February 17, 2008 singer, entertainer, television host and producer, Tony Sacca became the 23rd star recipient. In March 2018, it was reported 39 of the 82 stars in the Las Vegas Walk of Stars were removed and presumably destroyed during installation of security bollards along the Las Vegas Strip. Officials claimed the stars could not survive a relocation. Among the stars removed were those honoring Wayne Newton, Liberace, Rich Little, John Stuart, Sammy Davis Jr. and Elvis Presley. After being removed from in front of the old Riveria Hotel, Presley's star is now located in front of the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. The ceremony was sponsored by the Viva Las Vegas Club with donations coming from fans worldwide.
