On 11 November 2024, 62-year-old Fan Weiqiu drove his SUV into people on the exercise track at the Zhuhai Stadium sports center in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China, killing 38 and injuring 48 more. Weiqiu then attempted to kill himself with a knife; he was taken into custody and sent to a hospital. Weiqiu was believed to have been motivated by anger over a recent divorce settlement. He was sentenced to death in December 2024, and executed on 20 January 2025. Videos and coverage of the attack were censored online. Details about it were not released until the following day, a delay that drew heavy criticism on Chinese social media platforms. It is the deadliest attack in China since the May 2014 Ürümqi attack.
