Growing memorial for Lapu Lapu Day victims, as Vancouver police update investigation

Vancouver police are set to provide an update on the case at 2:30 p.m. PT. That will be broadcast above.

On Monday, Global News learned that a search warrant was executed on Sunday night at Lo’s East Vancouver home.

Approximately a dozen officers arrived at the residence just before 7:30 p.m.

Most entered the house, some armed with boxes. One officer could be seen taking photos of the exterior of the residence. It’s unclear exactly what was removed from the home, however, police sources have told Global News they were searching for electronics, such as computers, tablets, and phones.

Vancouver police Sgt. Steve Addison also confirmed on Monday that Lo did have contact with the police in a neighboring jurisdiction on April 25, the day before the vehicle attack.

“That contact was not criminal in nature and it did not rise to the level where mental health intervention was required,” Addison said.

This story will be updated following the Vancouver police press conference.
