The man suspected of carrying out Saturday's vehicle attack on crowds attending Berlin's Christopher Street Day (CSD) celebrations was killed during a police operation, German media reported.
According to public broadcaster Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb), the suspect, Abdul Balout, 21, died during an operation in the Spandau district in north-west Berlin.
German authorities had launched a manhunt for Abdul Rahman Tufik Balout following the attack, which left one woman dead and at least 14 others injured at a Pride event in the German capital.
The case had been classified as terrorism or a politically motivated violent crime of national significance.
According to Bild, Balout was a German citizen of Lebanese origin, born in Berlin in 2005, and was known to authorities as a supporter of the Islamic State group.
The newspaper reported that he had been held in a juvenile detention facility until May on offences including assault and extortion. Police searched his apartment overnight but were initially unable to locate him.
Earlier, authorities had released his photograph and personal details, urging the public to provide information and warning that he might be armed and dangerous.
Security measures were also strengthened at railway stations, underground stations and Germany's borders, while investigators examined the possibility that the suspect may have had an accomplice.
The attack occurred at about 10.15pm local time on Saturday, as thousands of people gathered in Berlin's Tiergarten park to celebrate Christopher Street Day, one of Europe's largest Pride events.
A white van drove into the crowd, injuring 15 people. One woman later died from her injuries.
The driver abandoned the vehicle and attempted to flee. German media reported that he was carrying a sharp object, believed to be a knife.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz described the incident as a "heinous act" and "an attack on our society", stressing that a peaceful celebration attended by hundreds of thousands of people had been targeted.
He also pledged that the case would be fully investigated and that those responsible would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
