A judge dismisses

a complaint the family of “The Voice” singer Christina Grimmie filed against the venue where she was killed, but the family’s lawyers are told they can file an amended lawsuit.

A judge in Orange County dismissed a complaint the family of “The Voice” singer Christina Grimmie filed against the venue where she was killed, but said the family’s lawyers can file an amended lawsuit.

The family’s attorneys will have 21 days to file another complaint that addresses a few legal issues that arose from the first.

“It’s not surprising. We were going to amend our complaint in any event,” said attorney Brian Caplan, who is representing the Grimmies.

Grimmie, 22, was killed the night of June 10 as she greeted fans after a concert at The Plaza Live in Orlando. Her brother, Mark Grimmie, tackled the gunman, who got away and then shot and killed himself.

Grimmie, who rose to fame on YouTube, finished in third place on the sixth season of TV singing competition "The Voice” in 2014.

Her parents and brother filed a suit in December against tour promoter AEG Live and the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra Plaza Foundation Inc., which owns the venue. The wrongful death suit claimed that the two groups should have provided better security.

The family sued to cover Grimmie’s medical and funeral expenses, support they would have gotten from her future earnings, and the emotional toll of losing her. The suit did not name a specific dollar amount.

On Tuesday, Circuit Judge Keith White said the complaint should have made more of a distinction between AEG Live, the concert promoter, and the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra Plaza Foundation, the venue’s owner.

Attorneys had already agreed to some changes, including detailing the physical harm Mark Grimmie suffered because of his emotional distress after his sister was killed. They also agreed to change what damages they would seek based on her future earnings.

Because Grimmie was under the age of 25, she was still considered a minor under Florida law when it comes to economic damages. Her family would not be able to sue for her total future earnings, but they may be able to seek the financial support Grimmie would have given her parents during their lifetimes.

“Even though her career was short, her parents and her brother were her life and she spent a huge amount of time doting on them, whenever she had a free moment,” Caplan said.
