AceShowbiz - Kevin James Loibl apparently didn't kill Christina Grimmie because he hated her. Following a recent report saying that she could be killed because of her Christian faith, TMZ claimed that the 27-year-old man was obsessed with the singer and he even changed his appearance in attempt to win her heart.
Citing various people who once worked with Loibl, the site stated that "his infatuation with Christina was boundless." He listened to her music at work and vowed to marry her one day. His co-workers at Best Buy further said that Loibl met Grimmie at one of her concerts in March and he claimed to have played online games with her.
Loibl's obsession with Grimmie led him to getting hair transplants and Lasik eye surgery to make himself an appealing man she couldn't resist. He even went vegan to lose weight. However, his plans to get her attention turned into plans to kill her after his friends pointed out the late singer already had a boyfriend, who's none other than her producer.
Not too many people knew about their relationship, but some photos of Grimmie and her producer on social media were enough to convince people that they were an item. The pictures were also enough to enrage Loibl, who then traveled from St. Petersburg to Orlando to attend the former "The Voice" contestant's concert on Friday night, June 10 and shot her while she was doing a meet and greet.
After committing the crime, Loibl was tackled by Grimmie's brother Marcus and he later killed himself.
