Anthony Quinn Warner,63, was confirmed to be the man who detonated the bomb in an RV located in front of the AT&T building on Christmas Day. The state’s U.S. Attorney said in a statement that Warner died during the explosion, after matching the human tissue found at the bombing site to DNA collected from Warner’s home. Authorities also linked the RV’s VIN number and said the vehicle was in Warner’s name. The vehicle belonged to him for almost a year and neighbors confirmed it after spotting the vehicle on his property multiple times.
However, a motive for the bombing is currently unknown but investigators speculated that Warner may have been paranoid about 5G technology and they haven’t categorized the bombing as an act of terrorism. Warner was also reported to be the only death from the explosion.
