'Voice' Singer Christina Grimmie 'With the Lord' after Shooting

The gunman who shot and killed the 22-year old former finalist of NBC's "The Voice" at a Florida concert venue has been identified, authorities report.

Kevin Loibl is believed to have no prior personal connection to Christina Grimmie, but he traveled more than 100 miles from his home in St. Petersburg to open fire at the Orlando venue where she was performing.

Grimmie finished a performance with the band Before You Exit at the Plaza and was signing autographs when shots were fired. Grimmie's brother immediately tackled the man, who then shot and killed himself during the struggle, police said.

Grimmie died early Saturday morning. Her publicist, Heather Walsh confirmed, saying "Christina has passed and went home to be with the Lord," in an email message.

The Orlando Police Department also confirmed it on their Twitter page. They are currently completing an investigation.

"She was doing a meet-and-greet, just signing autographs and selling merchandise. This white male approached her and opened fire, striking her," Orlando Police Chief John Mina said Saturday at a news conference. "There is no indication that he knew her. We're looking into that to try to find a motive for the crime."

The New Jersey native finished third during season six of NBC's "The Voice" in 2014. She competed on a team led by Maroon 5 star Adam Levine.

Grimmie's popularity on the show was due in part to her large YouTube following, which she amassed as a teenager. She gained millions of views on the site with powerful renditions of hit songs.

"I'm done being surprised by cool things she does. She's very talented and she's worked incredibly hard - it's a dangerous combination," her brother Mark Grimmie told the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2014.

Adam Levine posted a photo of himself and Grimmie on Instagram, commenting before her death was confirmed.

"I'm sad, shocked and confused. We love you so much Grimmie. We are all praying hard that you can pull through this ... this just isn't fair," he wrote. 

"The Voice" paid tribute to Grimmie on its official Twitter page. 

We are heartbroken. @TheRealGrimmie is a loved member of our family. Our thoughts are with her and her family. #PrayForChristina

Grimmie posted a video shortly before her Friday night concert and encouraged fans to see her performance.

Detectives searched Loibl's cellphone and social media accounts looking for clues as to a motive, Mina said, but they weren't aware the suspect had stalked Grimmie.

“It does appear that he came here to commit this crime,” Orlando Police Chief John Mina said.

Investigators found a note left by someone on the front door of Lobil’s home. It expressed the "deepest sorrow" for the loss "to the family, friends & fans of the very talented, loving Christina Grimmie."

The note said there would be no other comment. No one answered the door to the one-story house that had a rusted, metal animal trap in the yard, The Associated Press reported.

Sgt. Wanda Miglio said during a news conference after the shooting that about 60 to 100 people were in attendance, though only a handful remained when the shooting happened.

"It was just a casual event," she said.

Police say they do not know how the shooter got past security or how he got two guns, two loaded magazines, and a hunting knife inside the venue.
