The Las Vegas bombing suspect’s ex-girlfriend allegedly shared with the FBI text messages she received from Matthew Livelsberger a few days ago he was playfully bragging about his rented Tesla Cybertruck.
Alicia Arritt and Livelsberger were in a relationship from 2018 to 2021, but she told The Denver Gazette that it was strange that he reached out to him three days before the New Year’s Eve explosion outside President-elect Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas.
She told the newspaper that they met in 2018 after Livelsberger divorced his first wife Sara. But Arrit said she and Livelsberger stopped talking after a painful breakup in 2021 and both have moved on.
I just want everyone to know that Matt was the kindest man I knew, Arritt told the Gazette, explaining that Livelsberger bought her a house when her mother got sick. “He got me through a tough time.”

The FBI showed up at Arritta’s door in Colorado Springs on New Year’s Eve after monitoring messages from Livelsberger’s account, but she was at work, the Gazette reported.
FBI agents returned Thursday morning and met with her at 9 a.m., she said.
She showed agents how Livelsberger sent her photos and music videos of a gold Cybertruck he had rented on Dec. 29.
“I rented a Tesla Cybertruck. It’s s—,” he wrote to her at 9 a.m. Sunday, the Gazette reports.
“It matches my Kobe 2 shoes that I had when I was little,” added Livelsberger. “Google them.
“I feel like Batman or halo.”
Arritt said she was unaware of Livelsberger’s plans to allegedly kill himself in an explosives-laden Cybertruck moments before it detonated outside Trump’s Las Vegas hotel on New Year’s morning.
Arritt described Livelsberger as an honorable man who loved his country and that she knew he was politically conservative. Livelsberger’s family has reportedly described him as a Trump supporter.
She also said Livelsberger had two back surgeries after serving as a paratrooper. She said she noticed a change in him in 2019 after he returned from a tour of the Middle East with a traumatic brain injury. She said Livelsberger had isolated himself, explaining to the newspaper that she thought his depressive symptoms had not been treated because “it’s not acceptable to seek treatment when someone is in special forces.”

They broke up in part because he “wanted to focus on his career,” she said.
The Gazette reports that Arritt burst into tears when she heard that investigators had identified Livelsberger Tattoo of a plane from the First World War on his right hand.
“I don’t know if I could have stopped him,” she reportedly told the newspaper.
Arritt previously served as an Army nurse at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germanythe Glasnik states.
Livelsberger was a Green Beret who served 19 years in the Army, mostly at Fort Carson and on assignment in Germany.

She said it was taken while the two were at “spy school” in Washington state, the Gazette reported.
After their three-year relationship, Livelsberger remarried. His second wife, Jennifer Davis, reportedly broke up with Livelsberger six days before the attack.
