The YouTuber Murdered By An Obsessed Fan | The Case of Christina Grimmie

[@KareemHillJr]

"Christina instead opened her arms for a hug..." That part made me tear up a little.

I remember her death caused a lot of changes in how influencer/internet stars security changed. It used to be kinda odd for serious security protocols to be put in place for anyone besides big celebrities. Meet and greets and fan events for youtubers used to be a lot more lax and carefree than what we see today. I also remember a bunch of youtubers stopping meet and greets or getting anxiety from them.

[@jackiehenry5799]

Yeah, I also remember there was a shift in KZbinrs revealing any personal details. They would hide addresses/local places they went to/etc. I don't at all blame them, its hella scary that these people can track them down.

I'm just 2 years younger than her, and this was such a golden age of KZbin. She was everything I wanted to aspire to as a young teen; the hair, the style, living my early 2000's teenage dream. She was an incredibly sweet soul and an angel on earth. She even tried to hug her killer that everyone saw as an awkward and strange older fan. Why do stalkers insist on killing the person they claim to love so much? It's heartbreaking. I hope Christina is in peace and that her brother and family find found as much peace as they can.

[@kevinmalone3210]

Who can really know unless he was diagnosed by a mental health professional, but even these evaluations aren't always accurate. It looked liked he waa obsessed with her, and knew he could never have her, so it's as if I can't have you, nobody can. I could be wrong here too, it just may have been a case of hate and jealousy. He was no doubt a sick individual.

[@justadildeau]

We heard the story, thx

[@Leo-nh9ui]

Because it's not love it's infatuation. And that can turn into hate. They are in love in the idea of being together with that person, but not the person themselves. And when they notice that they can't get that person. They think selfish. Like if I can't have her no one can. It's

[@ITIsFunnyDamnIT]

It's NOT love. It was lust and an obsession to have her, because he felt he was entitled to her and if he couldn't have her no one else will. In his twisted mind he thought he would finally have her in an afterlife. He wanted total power and control over her. I bet anything he was also an incel. What's scary is the number on very disturbed incels are growing. Too many wackos out there and too many entitled incels out there.

[@christinagrimmiewasanactiv1847]

.....there was no crime.......Just for the record, there has never been one ounce of confirmed proof that this story of Grimmie getting killed was real. There are no public records for any 'Kevin Liobl', living OR deceased. A random driver's license photo with no further info on it is not proof. There are no other photos of this guy and there are no other indications that he ever existed. I also have reason to believe that this was another DHS exercise like the Pulse the following night. The mainstream media got out of the news reporting business decades ago and are now being used by lobbyist to produce propaganda for their agendas. That is why you can't believe what the media tells us now. They have been busted and debunked many, many times before for reporting false narratives. When you have far more questions about an event than media can answer, ..........chances are that it didn't take place like we were told.

Judging by the amount being charged 15$ per and there being like 500 to 700 people that's like 7,500$ to 9,000 roughly.

[@sammariofan]

From doing deeper research, the plaza where she performed had just been bought out by new owners and they didn't have security set up. Coincidentally Grimmie performed during that time. I still speculate she was set up. Someone hacked her Twitter the night she passed and posted "The End. " Police investigated the killers room and found that he wiped out his computer hard drives before driving to kill Christina and himself. I'll never get over it.

I took my then fiance (now wife) and her little sister because I wanted to see her AND Before You Exit. I was the one who wanted to stay for the meet and greet. What's crazy is that I was trying to get both of them to stay, but after the concert, as is common, the line for the women's bathrooms were extremely long. So in frustration, I decided, fine, let's go to the store next door to use the bathroom. Then we heard the gunshots. I ran us out of there so quick and to the car. We went straight home. My work was worried about us, many of our friends knew we were there. My job allowed me to get counseling help, but to be honest, maybe I wasn't the one who needed it. My wife worked at Orlando Health and had to deal with the aftermath of the Pulse shootings a couple days later. It's crazy to think how long ago it was, but how vividly I remember everything. My now sister-in-law seems to be okay these days, my wife and I are good, but trauma, in any form, sticks with you. Christina did not deserve this. Nobody deserves this.

The most tragic part about this was her wanting to hug him to make the meeting less awkward.

I watch a lot of true crime, but what happened to Christina is one of the saddest ones. She was so kind and accepting of all her fans, truly tragic. As for what could be done, it’s very difficult to convince someone like this to get mental health help because they refuse to see they have a problem and likely don’t have insurance. It’s also difficult to enforce pat-down searches at an event largely attended by minors. A metal detector would have been good but it looks like an event at an old mall so the budget was likely minimal. A bodyguard wouldn’t have been between her and him with enough time to stop him, either. I think it’s important to have these conversations about what we can do. I don’t know the answers but really makes me sad that this would have been so hard to predict or stop.

When I seen Selena in 2015/16, Christina was the opening act and I just remember saying "Who is this girl, She's amazing". I'm grateful I had the opportunity to hear her voice in person. Even though she only sang a couple a songs her presents was sooo memorable ✨. I believe Emblem 3 opened up as well. That was here in Detroit, Mi .

Thank you for shedding light on this. Christina Grimmie was a huge inspiration to me growing up, and was the first celebrity death that personally impacted me. Rest in Peace Christina

[@ashleyhinds8364]

Thank you for covering this. I was supposed to be at the show because I was a middle schooler in love with BYE and Christina and to do this day it haunts me. Really a great job, thank you

[@hesayshesayhowboutmesay]

Her murder was absolutely senseless. Many are. But my goodness this poor young lady did nothing to deserve the brutality with which her life was taken. Wherever her soul is, I truly hope she is happy, and peacefully waiting to be reunited with loved ones.

[@hesayshesayhowboutmesay]

@Steel Don I said her soul. Why take time to even say that? Did my comment bother you that much?

[@reisenbunny1235]

I might have knew her from Disney but it breaks my hear that her stalker shot her in front of her fans including her brother! She was giving him a hug! Her poor brother and fans had to witness this tragedy

[@bm4551]

That must be such a dreadful feeling for the people present, but especially for her brother.

@@bm4551 Yes imagine seeing someone from your own family die right in front of you, and in such a brutal way.

When you get an obsessed stalker, you’re in trouble. For years unless something happens to bring it to a resolution. The ptsd never, ever goes away. The fear is there forever. It affects every single aspect of your life. My stalker lasted for 30 years. Yep. 😐 It’s over now. I was lucky. Very lucky. R.I.P. Christina 🥺🥺😭

[@Rodviet]

Oh nooo, this one hurts so much! Thank you so much for another case Adrian, no one does them as respectful as you. Thank you for all your hard work!

I followed her over the years and even though I wasn’t a huge fan, I always smiled seeing her channel pop up in my subscriptions with each new video. She truly was someone special and watching her rise to stardom was like watching your friend live their dream. I remember when her death was announced on the news I was with my parents and they were talking over the TV. I heard Christina’s name and glanced over to see what they were saying, thinking it was just a concert announcement. I was so shocked to see the words “Christina Grimmie... KZbin Star Dead.” I asked my parents to stop talking and turned up the TV to hear what happened. To this day I still tear up about her death, it was just so tragic and unfair.

[@ebrooks5810]

I was devastated by Christina’s death. I watched her rise on The Voice and couldn’t believe that deranged man killed such a beautiful soul. Yes the Plaza should take some responsibility for what happened to her.

[@hingekeeled]

Every time I'm getting more close to a friend or even a loved one, it is always and forever the hardest thing to talk about. Sometimes I only talk about Christina's inspiration to me and leave the tragedy part. For those who think why this man wanted to kill her even thought he claimed to love her, is because he maybe wanted her soul because deep down he understood that they will not be together in real life. And it seemed that killing himself was his plan so that he can go with her. Shortly the word is "soul hunter".

I've watched a number of people cover this case and so, felt familiar with the facts, but, I honestly feel you delivered it in a way that really impacted me more than i was expecting when I starring listening to a familiar case. Coffee house crime has sneekly become my favourite true crime Channel. Thank you Adrian for your clear, consise and empathetic delivery on every case you cover.
