Florida authorities said Saturday the man who shot and killed singer Christina Grimmie traveled to the concert venue specifically to attack her and then turned the gun on himself.
Orlando Police Chief John Mina said at a news conference that the suspect, identified as 27 year old Kevin Loibl of St. Petersburg, Florida, didn’t appear to know the singer personally. Grimmie was shot to death after giving a concert in Orlando Friday night. She died early Saturday.
She was doing a meet-and-greet, just signing autographs and selling merchandise. This white male approached her and opened fire, striking her, Mina said. We believe he came here to commit this crime
Kaitlin Martin, 17, told the Associated Press the man attended the concert and watched the entire show at The Plaza Live before the shooting occurred. Martin said she was unsettled knowing that he was in the same audience she was in.
