Global News is learning more about the search warrant executed Sunday night at the East Vancouver home of murder suspect Kai-Ji Adam Lo.
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.
On Sunday police also spent time at a separate home nearby. The resident told us it was related to retrieving their surveillance footage.
Lo’s mental health interactions with police have been extensive, well in excess of 50, say sources.
Vancouver police Sgt. Steve Addison said “I can confirm that Kai-Ji Lo did have contact with the police in a neighbouring 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.”
In 2024 Lo’s brother was murdered and soon after his mother attempted suicide. Neighbours say they were aware of problems at the home, one saying they sometimes heard screaming from the home and police cars were sometimes there.
Lo is charged with eight counts of second degree murder, and is expected to face additional charges. He remains in custody.
