Who is Christina Grimmie Bio & Wiki
Let’s talk about Christina Grimmie; the overly talented American singer-songwriter, who got gruesomely murdered in June of 2016 at age 22, following her performance at a concert held at The Plaza Live in Orlando, Florida.
Now this American singer-songwriter was already done with her concert performance, and was signing autographs for her supporters, at the time a man; 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl, from the crowd, shot her three times.
For the most part, Kevin’s plans were executed, but he had wanted to kill more, or so it seemed. So, to protect more innocent people at the concert from dying, Christina’s brother, Marcus, tried to stop him (Kevin) by grappling him. However, Kevin would manage to break free and then go against the wall, where he’d shoot himself in the head.
How tragic and traumatic the incident must’ve been for those at the concert, and how much more it had cost Christina Grimmie’s family, and the world, who loved her and cherished her music… Now don’t fight me, tryna wrap my head around this incident & what it costs the world, and it’s even impossible for me not to lose grip of my emotions.
Sad. Awful! Creeps and weirdos keep hurting the world, for no reasonable reason! Look, Kevin fudging killed himself just secs. later, so what the heck was the point of killing Christina?!
Anyhoo, in remembrance of Christina and her work and impact on the world, while she was alive, I’ve put together all there’s to know about her: her early life, college life, career life, personal life, last days, net worth, and everything else there’s to know about her.
