July 23, 2025

The man accused of ramming an SUV into a crowd and killing 11 people at the Vancouver Lapu-Lapu Day festival is set to appear in court today, with a judge determining if he’s fit to stand trial.

RJ Aquino, the chair of festival organizer Filipino BC, says the court proceedings could prove “traumatizing” for victims and members of the Filipino community.
