The autopsy also states that Grimmie's brother, Marcus, was there at the time of shooting, and identified his sister's body.
The shootings occurred around 10:30 p.m. local time following a performance by Grimmie's pop-rock band Before You Exit. When police arrived to the scene, they found two people had been shot. Grimmie was rushed to the Orlando Regional Medical Center, and, according to an employee at the hospital, she died shortly after she was brought to the ER.
John W. Mina, City of Orlando Chief of Police, revealed that the suspect, 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl of St. Petersburg, Florida, was carrying two handguns, two additional loaded magazines for the handguns, and a large hunting knife. He was at the venue alone, and used a small caliber handgun to fire shots at Grimmie.
"Almost immediately, her brother, Marcus Grimmie, tackled the suspect to the ground," Mina said. "Shortly after that, the suspect killed himself. And obviously as we know, unfortunately, Christina Grimmie succumbed to those gun shots wounds and passed."
