A young man, who has supported life after being shot in southern California cinema, has died, said the police and his family.
Anthony Barajas, 19, watched “The Forever Purge” in the theater in Corona with Rylee Goodrich, 18, Monday when they were shot in the head.
They were found by an employee after the last night’s show.
Goodrich died at the scene.
Barajas was taken to the nearest hospital, where he was placed on living support.
The police said the shooting looked random and not proven.
They worked with the prosecutor of Riverside County to increase the number of second murder of the alleged shooter, Joseph Jimenez.
Jimenez, 20, appeared in the Riverside County High Court on Friday after being charged with killing in the death of Goodrich and tried the murder of Barajas.
But he did not enter the request, and his indictment was postponed next week.
The prosecutor has also accused Jimenez with a special circumstances lying waiting which made him qualify for the death penalty if punished.
Jimenez has been imprisoned since his arrest.
It is not clear whether he has retained a lawyer who can speak for him.
Barajas is a high school Honorary student and has hundreds of thousands of followers on his Tiktok social media account, Riverside Press-Enterprise reported.
“From his quick smile until his loving heart, Anthony’s presence is a gift for all who know him,” his family said in a statement on Saturday.
