Christina Grimmie's Family Sues

The family of the late Youtuber and 'The Voice' Christina Grimmie is filing a

wrongful death lawsuit for her murder back in June after she performed at  Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra Plaza when a deranged fan name Kevin Lioble shot her to death.  Orlando Sentinal reports that her family is suing the concert venue for 'emotional distress'  

Attorneys for Albert, Tina and Mark Grimmie filed a lawsuit in Orange Circuit Court late Tuesday alleging the concert promoter and owners of The Plaza Live were negligent in preventing the 22-year-old singer's wrongful death by not providing adequate security to stop her killer from entering the venue armed.

The suit claims AEG Live and the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra Plaza Foundation Inc. should pay for medical and funeral services, "the future support and services Christina would have provided" and the emotional toll they suffered over the loss of their daughter and sister.

Youtube and 'The Voice' star Christina Grimmie greeted her shooter with open arms before she was shot to death late Friday night at her concert in Orlando. The shooter whose name is Kevin James Loibel traveled to Orlando with two handguns, knives and magazines to just kill her. 

One fan witnessed that Christina Grimmie was at the merchandise table and the shooter was in line in front of them. 

"I had made friends in line with some other fans and my group were talking to them. Two people were meeting Christina and there was one guy in front of us in line. "My back was to Christina but I kept turning to check on how long we had to meet her. "The one guy in front of us was walking up to meet her. Her arms were open, waiting to greet him with a hug.
"Then there was a sound of three pops, like balloons. People had brought balloons to the show and the security guards were popping them so at first I thought it was that.
"Then I saw the yellow barricade fall and the two people who had just met her started running away.
"I saw Christina's leg fall to the side on the ground like a dead weight. I didn't see her face.
"I saw her brother jump over the merchandise table and then it was just a blur. I turned and started running, then I heard another pop."

This was Christina's last snapchat video before she was shot
