His race and identity is being withheld. That means it's most likely a Dindu Nuffin.

He's 21 and they didn't know each other. Sounds like either a soft target attack or drugs.

Mine too.

Some obsessed nut-fan that wanted his name to forever be connected to hers,
Anytime her name comes up in a news article going forward, somewhere in the article his name will be mentioned. This is what these lunatics crave.

Motives Still Unknown in Slaying of Singer
June 12, 2016 - About 200 to 300 people attended the concert -- only 120 of them were in the theater at the time of the shooting -- and no one else was reported injured.

Singer Christina Grimmie died early Saturday after being shot inside the Plaza Live concert venue in Orlando Friday night, police said. The shooting was reported at the Bumby Avenue venue east of downtown about 10:30 p.m. after a concert by the band Before you Exit and Grimmie, who has appeared on NBC's singing competition, The Voice. Grimmie, 22, opened the show, then Before You Exit took the stage. The show ended about 10 p.m., police spokeswoman Wanda Miglio said. After the show, Grimmie and the band signed autographs near a merchandise table inside.

That's when a man armed with two guns walked up and opened fire on her, Miglio said. She was hit at least once. Her brother tackled the suspect to the ground. The suspect then fatally shot himself. Police are working to confirm his identity, Miglio said. "This is a very tragic event. This should have been something fun and exciting and for this to happen is just a tragedy," Miglio said. Grimmie was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Police confirmed at 3 a.m. Saturday that she died from her injuries.

Singer Christina Grimmie died early Saturday after being shot inside the Plaza Live concert venue in Orlando Friday night, police said.​

Miglio said no one else was injured because of the actions by Grimmie's brother. Miglio said she was unsure of the venue's security and how the man was able to enter with two guns. Josh Call was outside the venue working a vegan hot dog stand when he heard four or five gunshots. "It was quick like pow, pow, pow, pow," he said. He said a security guard jolted and rushed to make sure others were out of harm's way.

Call said he waited a few minutes and went inside where he saw a female on the ground of the venue with blood coming from her head. Someone was giving her chest compressions, he said. He looked over and said he saw another person injured. He said a man was on the floor in a pool of blood, his face was completely disfigured. "I don't think anyone expected something like this to happen," he said. "It was horrifying."
