Christina Grimmie fans are pretty steamed at the Teen Choice Awards.

Grimmie was the former contestant from “The Voice” who was shot and killed by an obsessed fan in June. The pop singer had a loyal fan base among teens, and on Sunday she won an award for Choice Web Star: Music.

But fans were angry that the producers did not include a shout-out or special tribute to Grimmie, even though one of the evening’s highlights was a special segment in which Jessica Alba hailed the teen victims of gun violence and introduced R&B singer Ne-Yo, who covered Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.”
