Christina Grimmie was shot at a meet and greet at one of her concerts in Orlando earlier this year. Besides being a finalist on Season 6 of The Voice, Grimmie was also a YouTube star who had built up a considerable following online. The gunman, Kevin Loibl, shot himself after her murdered Grimmie.

According to CNN, her murderer was a crazed fan who was obsessed with her. Loibl did not have a criminal record, but the police report revealed that he lived like a hermit, according to his parents. He also reportedly had such a great dislike of light that he covered all of his walls with aluminum foil and dark curtains.

The police report also states that police had to come to his home to resolve a domestic dispute between Loibl and his father’s girlfriend.

The two handguns Kevin Loibl used to murder Grimmie were bought legally, CNN reports. They were both Glock 9 mm handguns and Loibl collected the second one on June 7, three days before he killed Christina. The police report states that he checked into the hotel in Orlando without any luggage and paid $269 for the room.

“There was no luggage; no personal belongings visible and the bed looked as if he slept on top of the covers. In the trash it appeared he had purchased some food from the hotel snack bar and ate it in his room,” the report says.

According to CNN, friends of Kevin Loibl have said that he became obsessed with Christina Grimmie about six months to a year ago.

“He watched everything having to do with her,” said Cory Dennington who described himself as Loibl’s “only friend in the world.”

Dennington claimed that Christina Grimmie’s murderer spent most of his life watching her content on YouTube. There were even claims that he converted to Christianity as a result of Grimmie’s influence. He also lost 50 pounds in an apparent effort to make himself more attractive to her.
