Fitness hearing for Adam Kai-Ji Lo, accused of 11 murders at Vancouver festival

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 23 – Adam Kai-Ji Lo faces a court hearing to assess his mental fitness for trial after a deadly vehicle attack that killed 11 and injured dozens, with charges including second-degree murder.

  • Adam Kai-Ji Lo, 30, is scheduled for a two-day hearing beginning July 23, 2025, at a court in Vancouver to assess his fitness to stand trial for an attack that occurred on April 26.
  • Lo faces 11 second-degree murder charges after allegedly driving an SUV into a crowd at the Vancouver Filipino Lapu Lapu Day festival, injuring dozens more.
  • The hearing will assess whether Lo has the mental capacity to participate in his trial, as Filipino BC closely follows the case and offers ongoing support to the victims.
  • Filipino BC chair RJ Aquino said many want "speedy closure" but acknowledged that "justice takes time" and court proceedings may retraumatize victims.
  • A media consortium including The Canadian Press plans to challenge a Crown-requested publication ban on the hearing, which could affect the trial preparation timeline.
