In the first video, he could be seen reclining in a chair, as a caption read: “Stay away from people that ignore you, until they need you.”
The second, posted shortly before the fatal shooting, showed Chrystofer relaxing on a blue deck chair in a pair of pink swimming trunks.
Chrystofer was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency responders arrived at the beach at Pier Village in Long Branch, New Jersey, US, at around 8:58pm on 12 June.
Two suspects have been charged with the alleged shooting.
One of them is just 18 and the second is a minor.
As well as being an influencer, Chrystofer was also a talented athlete.
He played American football and wrestled for Woodbridge High School, as reported by Need To Know.
His former coach, Joseph LaSala, who trained Chrystofer for three seasons, said: “Chrys was an unbelievable kid.
“He brought energy and enthusiasm every day.
“He was respectful, focused and a joy to coach.
“This is heartbreaking.”
His close friend Jaiden Roche launched a GoFundMe campaign to help the victim’s family with funeral costs.
He said: “This tragedy has a huge impact on his family and friends.
“He was very loved by many and this all still seems like a dream.
“I’m creating this to help out his family so we can all see our beloved soul Chrys have a beautiful funeral.”
As of today (2 Jul), the campaign has raised £11,846 ($16,228).
According to Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, the juvenile suspect has been charged with “murder, conspiracy to commit unlawful possession of a weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of a prohibited weapon and hindering”.
The unnamed minor is currently being held in a juvenile detention centre.
Dwayne Exilus, 18, faces charges of “second-degree conspiracy to commit unlawful possession of a weapon, second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon, third-degree hindering, and one count of fourth-degree possession of a prohibited weapon”.
The investigation into Chrystofer’s death is ongoing.
