A New Jersey native, Grimmie first drew attention several years ago for her YouTube videos featuring covers of pop songs. In 2014, she placed third on the The Voice, a singing competition on NBC, with Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine as her coach. Police believe he travelled to the Florida city specifically to carry out the shooting, authorities said. Grimmie was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and died from her injuries early on Saturday morning. Investigators are still trying to determine a motive for Friday night's shooting, Orlando Police Chief John Mine said at a news conference.
