Singer Christina Grimmie did not know the man who shot her, Orlando police say

Singer Christina Grimmie, who was shot and killed after her show in Orlando Friday night, did not know the man who shot her, Orlando police said.

The 27-year-old man, who police identified as Kevin James Loibl of St. Petersburg, travelled to The Plaza Live theater with two small-caliber handguns Friday night. He walked up to Grimmie, who was signing autographs after the show, and shot her at about 10:30 p.m., Police Chief John Mina said. Her brother immediately tackled the suspect and the man shot himself at the scene.

>>>I wonder if he was on antidepressants.<<<

I wonder if he was raised on antidepressants.

It's a crime nowadays to be a boy.

Heck, it's almost as much of a "crime" [crime of mere existence] as it is to be a Christian, 'specially a young, attractive Christian female who sings about faith in the God of the Hebrews (those Jooos!).

This one is so sad. She had just got a start on a promising career. What a waste. And so hard on her family. Terrible, terrible.

I’d be curious to know if she was on ISIS’ ‘kill list’ of American citizens.

“Hmmmm. Why is my gaydar going off so loudly?”

Good question. Googling this guy’s name, with and without middle name, and middle + last name, I’m finding no evidence in online public records that this guy existed until yesterday.
To me, that says one of two possibilities: either he chose to be a Grey Man, or his info was scrubbed.
Police withheld his name for a good while, but let it slip that they were searching his online info (and phone) for clues. So that *might* indicate there *was* some online info. Or maybe not.
Even if somebody doesn’t blab their personal biz under real name on social media, there still should be something.

If there is a connection, we probably won’t hear about it.

I don’t see that. He looks like a fairly harmless loser.

Correction, I misspoke. Police said they were searching his computer, meaning they’ve raided his home-? Looking in his computer to see IF he has posted stuff online, and if so, what.

Thank you, Mum! I’m so glad you took the time to listen to it! My brother Jeffery is a WAY better Christian warrior than I am. He’s in righteous Christian anger right now. I assure you, he’ll promote her and for all the right reasons. They both wrote the lyrics. (Btw, his kids are E c h o s m i t h. All Christian and home schooled. I masked the spelling to keep it off search.)

Thanks for the link. Your brother was blessed to have worked with her.

My screen is blurry now. What a terrible senseless act.

Thank you for your sweet note. Jeffery is a strong Christian warrior and they collaborated on the lyrics, which he is a genius at. However, he said it was mostly her on this one. So glad you listened. Anyway, Jeffery is in some major Christian anger right now.

I saw her at the Granada in Dallas when she opened for Rachel Platten.
