A popular TikTok star died from his injuries days after a man opened fire inside a Southern California movie theater during a screening of "The Forever Purge."
Anthony Barajas, 19, was the second victim killed in Monday's shooting. Corona police previously identified the first victim as Rylee Goodrich, 18.
Authorities said Barajas & Goodrich were at the Regal Edwards Theatre in Corona. Workers cleaning up the theater after the movie ended discovered two people had been shot in the head.
Goodrich was pronounced dead & Barajas was taken to the hospital and placed on life support. Corona police said Barajas died early Saturday morning.
Joseph Jimenez, 20, was arrested in connection with the shooting. He was booked earlier this week on suspicion of murder, attempted murder & robbery but prosecutors on Friday filed a special circumstance murder charge.
Hestrin said the special circumstance charge makes Jimenez eligible for the death penalty if prosecutors choose to seek that punishment at trial.
A judge on Friday ordered Jimenez to be held without bail. His arraignment was delayed until Thursday at the request of the defense. Prosecutors said the shooting appears to be "random & unprovoked."
Barajas was known online as "itsanthonymichael" & has nearly a million followers on TikTok and more than 50,000 on Instagram.
