LOS ANGELES:

Two law enforcement officials identified the man inside the futuristic-looking pickup truck as Matthew Livelsberger.

Livelsberger was a member of the Army's elite Green Berets, a special forces unit and guerrilla warfare experts, according to an Army statement. He has served in the Army since 2006, rising through the ranks, and was on approved leave when he died, the statement said. The Green Berets work to counter terrorists abroad using unconventional techniques.

Livelsberger 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.
