CNN — The active-duty US Army Green Beret who authorities say exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas this week struggled with injuries relating to his military service and said he was depressed while they were together a few years ago, according to an ex-girlfriend and text messages she provided CNN. “Like, ‘We can’t hang out today; I’m too depressed today,’” Arritt told CNN. In one exchange, Livelsberger wrote, “I’m depressed I’m going anywhere tonight.” When Arritt responded that she’d downloaded a documentary, Livelsberger said, “I just need to get my head straight.” Asked if there’s anything Arritt can do to help, he said: “Nah just understand.” Arritt stopped hearing from Livelsberger in July 2022, she said. From LinkedIn Evans of the FBI said “other family issues or personal grievances in his own life … may have been contributing factors” in the man’s actions in Las Vegas.
