April 30, 2025

Last Saturday, tragedy struck during Lapu-Lapu Day, a festival held by the Filipino community in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

While the festivities were ongoing on the streets where food trucks, shops, and programs were being held, a speeding SUV ran over the people. When the vehicle crashed, many bodies were seen lying on the road, some bloodied and motionless, others screaming and crying in pain.

The driver of the SUV was pulled out and detained by bystanders and they made sure he wouldn't escape before the police arrived. The male suspect was Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30. At present, eleven people are dead, ranging from five to sixty-five years old. Lo has now been charged with eight counts of murder, but more may be added.
