German investigators say they have found what appears to be a claim of responsibility connected to the suspect in the deadly attack that happened near Berlin's Pride festival. Authorities disclosed the development Tuesday as the investigation into the case continues.
According to the information released so far, the suspect is a 21-year-old man. Officials have not indicated that the apparent claim has been fully verified, and the wording suggests investigators are still assessing whether the material is authentic and how it fits into the broader case.
The discovery could become a key part of the inquiry as authorities work to establish motive, timeline and the suspect's actions before the fatal attack near the Berlin Pride event. At this stage, investigators appear to be proceeding cautiously and have not publicly detailed the contents of the apparent statement.
The case has drawn attention in Germany because of both the deadly violence and its proximity to a major Pride gathering in Berlin. Further updates are expected as officials review evidence and determine what the apparent claim of responsibility means for the investigation.
