A family of three migrants from Colombia among Vancouver festival victims
- A vehicle rammed through a crowd at Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Day festival on Saturday, killing 11 people including three members of a Colombian immigrant family.
- The family moved to Canada in the early 2000s, partially to flee violence in Colombia, and authorities have formally accused a 30-year-old man of committing eight murders.
- Alejandro Samper, whose entire immediate family—including his parents and sister—were killed in the attack, expressed frustration over the absence of protective barriers at the festival, especially in contrast to other local events where such safety measures were in place.
- Samper expressed that he feels completely devastated, explaining that his parents gave up their careers and way of life in Colombia to create a better future for their family in Canada, but due to the ongoing investigation, he has not yet been able to see their bodies.
- The attack left about three dozen injured and sparked grief in Vancouver's Filipino community while raising concerns about event security and public safety.
