MEDFORD, NJ -- Family and friends are gathering in New Jersey to remember "The Voice" singer Christina Grimmie.



A South Jersey community held a candlelight vigil in honor of Evesham Township native Christina Grimmie who was gunned down after a Florida concert.


The 22-year-old singer was shot to death last week as she signed autographs after a show in Orlando.



Authorities say she apparently had no personal connection to the man who shot her and then fatally shot himself after being tackled by her brother.
