Lapu-Lapu Day tragedy survivor searching for change in the face of loss

Alejandro Samper, the last surviving member of a Vancouver family killed in the Lapu-Lapu Day festival tragedy, seeks accountability through a class-action lawsuit. He plans to sue the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, and suspect Kai-Ji Adam Lo, who exhibited signs of deteriorating mental health before the attack. Samper believes the healthcare system failed to act on this information, allowing Lo to remain a danger to the community. He emphasizes the importance of improved communication among authorities, including the Crown Counsel and police, to prevent future incidents. Samper's determination stems from his grief and the support he has received from friends and the community during the darkest months of his life.

He is committed to fighting for systemic change and ensuring that the sacrifices his family made for a better future are not in vain. “I’m going to fight the system to see change until I die,” Samper declares. His pursuit of justice highlights the need for accountability in public safety measures.
