A man accused by police of carrying out a deadly car-ramming in Vancouver has been charged with murder, as Canadian Filipinos mourn the attack on their community. Kai-Ji- Adam Lo allegedly plowed his car into a crowd at a street festival celebrating Filipino heritage on Saturday night, killing at least 11 people and injuring dozens. The suspect, who was detained on the scene, had a history of mental health-related interactions with authorities, police said. Here’s what we know so far. Filipinos in south Vancouver had gathered for a community street party on Lapu Lapu Day, an event commemorating an Indigenous leader who fought against Spanish colonization of the Philippines. But what had begun as a joyous occasion turned into a horrific scene when a black Audi SUV was driven into the large crowd at around 8 p.m. local time. The driver is thought to have operated alone and was the only person in the vehicle, police said.
