Vancouver, British Columbia - Over the weekend, as members of the LE family headed to the gates to enjoy music, food and friendship at Vancouver’s annual Philippine Heritage Festival, their 16-year-old son decided to stay home and finish his homework.

Then, the message began to reach the car farming in the crowd.

Richard Le’s brother Toan Le said his father, Richard Le, his stepmother, Linh Hoang, and his 5-year-old sister, Katie Le, were killed.

Le said the teenage boy was in a state of shock and worked to lose suddenly. Katie Le, who is nearly kindergarten graduated, is described as a dynamic and happy child in the GoFundMe page posted by Toan Le.

The Black Audi SUV caught up on a closed food truck-lined street Saturday night and attacked those attending the Lapu Lapu Day Festival, which celebrated Datu Lapu-Lapu, an indigenous chief, who stood in a Spanish explorer who came to the Philippines in the 16th century.

32 people were injured. Seven people were in great condition and three were in serious condition at the hospital on Monday, Vancouver Police Department spokesman Steve Addison said.

Addison said the murdered included nine women and two men, ranging in age from 5 to 65 years old. He said all of them live in the Vancouver metropolitan area.

A 30-year-old man was charged with multiple counts of murder in his death, including the Canadian Prime Minister, who remembered the dead of the night watchman in the city.

Kai-ji Adam Lo was charged with eight counts of second-degree murder in a video of a judge Sunday, British Columbia prosecutor spokesman Dami said. Lo has not entered the request yet.

A woman who answered the phone at Lo's mother Lisa Lo's home on Monday said her mother was too upset to speak to reporters.

Investigators exclude terrorism from motivation and say there are more charges. They say Lo has a history of mental health problems. Interim Police Chief Steve Rai said there was no indication of motivation, but the suspect “has an important history of interaction with police and health care professionals related to mental health.”

Addison said Monday that Lo came into contact with police the day before the vehicle attacked the neighboring jurisdiction.

"This kind of exposure is not a crime by nature and has not been raised to the level where mental health intervention is required," Addison said.

The Associated Press was unable to reach the attorney representing the LO immediately. Online records show that a Vancouver Provincial Court issued a publication injunction prohibiting the release of detailed information about legal cases against LO. Such bans are common in Canada and can protect the defendant's right to a fair trial and the privacy of the victims of the crime.

Lo's brother, Alexander Lo, 31, was the victim of last year's homicide. Kai-ji Lo started an online fundraising campaign, which has since been deleted, seeking donations to bury his brother.

He said that according to the archived version of the page, he “repents for not spending more time with him.” Their mother borrowed a lot of loans to build the Alexander house, which made her financially tense.

He wrote: "The unimaginable sadness that brought to my mother was worse than my own. Because she brought him into this world and just allowed him to leave suddenly, it was a sadness that I could not begin to express."

Vancouver Mayor Kenneth Sim said during the vigil that the Filipino community and the city were “heartbroken, sad, scared, and there was some anger there.”

Hours before the attack, Makayla Bailey saw her friend Kira Salim for the first time in some time, and Salim apologized for not going out and more.

Bailey said: “I told them, ‘It’s OK, the weather is terrible, the weather is terrible, the summer is coming, so I’m sure we’ll meet a lot with each other.’

"I don't think this will be our last conversation," Bailey said.

New Westminster School District, where Salim works, said Bailey said Salim, who had "so many personalities", was one of the celebrants killed in the attack.

The attack happened minutes after the performance of the Filipino-American artist Apl.de.ap of the band The Black Eyed Peas, the singer said in an Instagram post on Sunday, urging his followers to continue praying.

The video of "After the Horse" shows the deceased being injured along a narrow street in southern Vancouver. The front of the SUV was smashed.

Kris Pangilinan brought his pop-up costume and lifestyle booth to the festival and saw the vehicle slowly passing a barricade and the driver was packed after the concert. He said the idea of ​​hearing people screaming and the bodies that hit the vehicles would never leave him.

"He lashed out at the gas, barreled in the crowd," Pangilinan said.

Investigators gathered evidence at the scene Monday and executed a search warrant at Sgt., a police spokesman in Vancouver. Steve Addison said. Investigators were also browsing on-the-scenes videos on the spot.

Addison said officials will review the situation, which could change the way they conduct such incidents.

“It’s to celebrate the safe, fun, family-friendly community barrier gatherings for their community and culture,” Addison said. “One person’s actions stole, which was away from them.”

Carayn Nulada said she pulled her granddaughter and grandson out of the street and blocked them from the SUV with her body. She said her daughter escaped.

"The car hit her arm, she fell, she fell because she was scared," said Nulada, who screamed as the victim lay on the ground or wedged under the vehicle.

Lai said the suspect was arrested after being initially arrested by bystanders.

Videos circulating on social media showed a young man in a black hoodie along with security guards and screaming by onlookers, apologizing.

Rai declined to comment on the video.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited the day before the election on Sunday.

The attack is reminiscent of the 2018 attack, when a man killed 10 pedestrians in Toronto in a van.
