The family of the mentally disturbed driver accused of killing at least 11 people at a Vancouver block party Saturday tried to get him help just hours before he allegedly plowed through the crowd of festival-goers, a report revealed Sunday as police identified the suspect as Kai-Ji Adam Lo.

Lo, a Vancouver resident whose brother was killed last year, is facing eight charges of second-degree murder so far after his alleged rampage at the Lapu Lapu Day festival — a celebration of the Filipino community — Saturday night, according to a report.

The 30-year-old was arrested at the scene by authorities and was “known” to law enforcement and mental health care professionals before he allegedly carried out his deadly attack, Vancouver police said.
