A Contestant on 'The Voice' Became a Homicide Victim

Singer Christina Grimmie was a young artist featured on Season 6 of the singing competition series The Voice in 2014. The talented young vocalist gained a following by posting videos of her singing on YouTube before she toured as the opening act with pop-powerhouse Selena Gomez. Grimmie had a four-chair turn during her season of The Voice, and placed third in the finale. The young singer so impressed her coach, Adam Levine, that she was offered a recording contract from him, regardless of the outcome of the series. When Grimmie performed a rendition of Lil Wayne's "How to Love" on the series, he also expressed on social media that he wanted to sign the young singer to his label. Grimmie had a bright future ahead of her, and was regarded as having the talent to truly make a lasting impact on the music industry.
