Vancouver Police have confirmed that the suspect in Saturday’s deadly ramming attack that killed 11 people in the city is the brother of a man who was murdered in an unrelated killing last year.

Thirty-year-old Adam Kai-Ji Lo—who has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder with more charges anticipated—is the brother of Alexander Lo, who was killed in January last year in Vancouver.
