Friends and family traveled from near and far to remember the late Christina Grimmie during her hometown vigil.
But it was her brother, Marcus Grimmie , who became emotional when speaking to the crowd about his little "baby sister" and the mass shooting in Orlando over the weekend.
"She loved this town, she loved this state, she loved singing, she loved the Lord and she loved me and she was my baby sister," he began by telling everyone.
"About four miles away from where we were staying, there was a huge tragedy to Orlando, to the LGBT community and to the whole world. I mean, 50 people dead, who knows who is injured. I have no words. All of those people that died and are suffering."
Christina was fatally shot Friday night while signing autographs for fans shortly after her Plaza Live concert in Orlando.
The Orlando Police Department confirmed to E! News that 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl was the sole assailant, who subsequently shot and killed himself after Marcus tackled him to the ground.
As of Monday evening, the Plaza Live venue had posted the following message on their marquee: "Remember Christina. Orlando United."
