Eleven people, ranging from age five to 65, were left dead and more than two dozen were hurt, .

The deadly incident, described by interim Vancouver police chief Steve Rai as 鈥渢he darkest day in Vancouver’s history,鈥� sent shock waves around the world and left Canada鈥檚 growing Filipino community reeling.

The festival was coming to an end shortly after 8 p.m. local time when the suspect 鈥渄rove into a large crowd鈥� on East 43rd Avenue near Fraser Street, according to police.

Bystanders and witnesses intervened to detain the driver until authorities arrived at the scene.

Vancouver resident Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30, has been charged with and will likely face additional charges, police said.

Lo, who remains in custody, appeared in court over the weekend and is scheduled to return in May. He had no criminal record but was known to police.

Rai said the suspect had a number of prior interactions with police that were related to his mental health. While police have yet to determine a motive for the attack, he said it did not appear to be an act of terror.

Early last year, Lo organized a fundraising page to cover the funeral costs for his brother, Alexander, who had died.

Alexander Lo鈥檚 body was found on Jan. 28, 2024, after police were called to a Vancouver home at around 1 a.m. Dwight William Kematch, 39, was charged with second-degree murder in his death.聽

Lo, who thanked donors for their support after the page raised more than $9,000, shared that he and his family were devastated by his brother鈥檚 death. In a September update, he said his mother, who was deeply troubled about the death of her son and stressed from climbing bills, had attempted suicide.

More to come.
