Authorities suspect the man who set off an explosion inside a Tesla Cybertruck outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day was an active member of the U.S. military.

One person inside the vehicle was killed in the blast, which was set with large fireworks mortars and gas canisters inside the bed. Seven other people suffered minor injuries, and two were treated at UMC.

The Associated Press and other news outlets identified the suspect inside the truck as Matthew Livelsberger. He was an active-duty Army soldier who spent time at the base formerly known as Fort Bragg, a massive Army base in North Carolina that is home to Army special forces command, three U.S. officials told the AP.

Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said Wednesday the blast appears to be an isolated incident and there is no further threat to the public.

Jeremy Schwartz, acting special agent in charge of the FBI’s Las Vegas field office, said authorities are still investigating if terror was a motive for the blast.

“I know everybody’s interested in that word and trying to see if we can say, ‘Hey, this is a terrorist attack,’ ” Schwartz said Wednesday. “That is our goal and that is what we are trying to do.”

Investigators have found no definitive link as of yet between the attack that killed 15 people and injured dozens of others in New Orleans and the explosion in Las Vegas, FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia said at a news conference in Louisiana on Thursday.

NBC News reported investigators were looking into a possible military connection between the New Orleans suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, and the person in the Cybertruck, citing law enforcement sources familiar with the cases.

Jabbar also spent time at Fort Bragg, though the AP reported that officials have found no overlap in his or Livelsberger’s assignments.

The FBI field office in Denver confirmed it was responding to a Colorado Springs, Colorado, home in connection with the explosion in Las Vegas but provided no further details.

McMahill said investigators learned the vehicle was rented in Colorado and arrived in Las Vegas around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday before heading to the hotel.

Authorities said the Cybertruck was rented through Turo, the same company that rented out the truck used in the New Orleans attack.

“Do I think it’s a coincidence? I don’t know,” McMahill said Wednesday. “But what I can tell you is we’re absolutely investigating any connectivity to what happened in New Orleans, as well as other attacks that have been occurring around the world. We’re not ruling anything out yet.”

President Joe Biden told reporters at Camp David that federal authorities are investigating the explosion in Las Vegas and whether there is a connection to New Orleans.

Investigators know who rented the Cybertruck, the sheriff said. Still, they were not going to release any names until they could positively identify the person killed in the blast and notify next of kin.

McMahill acknowledged the use of a Cybertruck at a Trump Organization property was a point of concern. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been close with President-elect Donald Trump on the campaign trail and transition period.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction over Las Vegas for unmanned drones, citing “special security reasons.” The restriction is a one-nautical mile radius ban up to 3,000 feet above the ground, and it will remain in place through at least noon Friday, Jan. 3.
