Las Vegas suspect's ex-girlfriend shares days-old texts of him bragging about Tesla Cybertruck: report

The FBI was reportedly provided with text messages by an ex-girlfriend of the Las Vegas explosion suspect, in which Matthew Livelsberger was seen playfully boasting about his rented Tesla Cybertruck just days before the incident.

Alicia Arritt, who dated Livelsberger from 2018 to 2021, revealed to The Denver Gazette that it was particularly strange for him to contact her mere days before the explosion that occurred on New Year’s Day outside President-elect Trump’s Las Vegas hotel.

Arritt mentioned to the newspaper that their relationship began in 2018 following Livelsberger’s divorce from his first wife, Sara. However, she added that communication between them ceased after a painful separation in 2021, as they had both moved on.

“I just want everyone to know that Matt was the kindest man I ever knew,” Arritt told the Gazette, explaining that Livelsberger bought her a house when her mother became ill. “He got me through a difficult time.” 

They broke up partly because “he wanted to focus on his career,” she said. 

The Gazette said Arritt broke down in tears upon hearing investigators identified Livelsberger by a World War I plane tattoo on his right arm. 

“I don’t know if I could have stopped him,” she reportedly told the paper.

Arritt previously served as an Army nurse at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, according to the Gazette. 

Livelsberger was a Green Beret who served 19 years in the military, mostly at Fort Carson and on assignment in Germany. 

Arritt shared a photo of her with a wildflower in her hair as Livelsberger smiled behind her.

She said it was taken when the two were at “spy school” in Washington state, according to the Gazette. 

After their three-year relationship, Livelsberger remarried. His second wife, Jennifer Davis, reportedly broke up with Livelsberger six days before the attack.
