Christina Grimmie, a former contestant on “The Voice” who was murdered after her concert in Orlando, Florida, on June 10, was laid to rest on Thursday in a private service attended by family and close friends.

On Friday, a public memorial is being held at Medford, New Jersey’s Fellowship Alliance Chapel on Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. ET, with a memorial service taking place at 8 p.m.

For fans of the singer who couldn’t be at the public farewell, the family has allowed the service to be live-streamed.

The 22-year-old Season 6 contestant on NBC’s reality singing competitions was shot multiple times and killed when a gunman opened fire at The Plaza Live in Orlando, Florida, as she signed autographs for fans after a concert.

The Orlando Police Department subsequently identified the gunman as Kevin James Loibl, 27, of St. Petersburg, Florida. Loibl was carrying two handguns, two additional loaded magazines of ammunition and a large hunting knife.

Grimmie finished third on “The Voice” in 2014. She burst onto the scene via YouTube as a teenager, racking up millions of views with her renditions of hit songs.
