The gunman who killed former “The

man from St. Petersburg.
Grimmie was shot and killed by Kevin James Loibl

Grimmie was performing with the band Before You

hunting knife.
Police said Grimmie’s brother immediately tackled
Loibl, and during the subsequent struggle, Loibl shot
himself.
Grimmie was taken in critical condition to a hospital,
where she later died.
