‘I’m just destroyed’: 3 members of family from Colombia died in B.C. festival attack, says son [Video]

Alejandro Samper was getting ready for work on Saturday night when he received a call from his sister’s fiancé about a “terrible accident,” and he rushed to the scene of the Lapu Lapu Day festival in Vancouver. 

He soon learned that his sister Glitza Daniela Samper, his mother Glitza Maria Caicedo and his father Daniel Samper had been hit by an SUV that barrelled through the crowd at the Filipino cultural event. 

A 30-year-old man, Kai-Ji Adam Lo, faces eight counts of second-degree murder after 11 people were killed and dozens more were hurt at the Filipino community’s Lapu-Lapu Day festival Saturday night. 

He said his sister was brought to Vancouver General Hospital, where she died early Sunday, and both his parents had also died.
