On Monday, Before You Exit made an emotional return to the venue where Christina Grimmie was fatally shot a few days ago.
The band had been touring with Grimmie and went back to Plaza Live in Orlando to pick up their equipment from Friday night’s show. The band’s merchandise manager Anthony Najarian tweeted about it, revealing they had “left the lights on in [Grimmie’s] green room and prayed over the area of [her] death.”

Najarian also shared a photo of flowers and a heart that reads “radiate” in what looks to be Grimmie’s dressing room:

Earlier Monday, it was revealed by Grimmie’s brother that Adam Levine, her coach from The Voice, had offered to pay for the late singer’s funeral expenses. Grimmie’s manager, Brian Teefy, also had set up a GoFundMe to help her family, which currently has raised over $135,000.
