Corona, California. On July 26th, 18-year-old Rylee Goodrich was on a date with 19-year-old TikTok star Anthony Barajas.
The two teens went to the movie theatre located in the Crossing At Corona, and they were watching the horror movie The Forever Purge.
While Rylee and Anthony were inside of the theatre when someone shot both teens.
At 11:45 that evening, officers with the Corona Police Department rushed to the theatre after a call came in for help.
“Upon arrival, officers located a male and female both suffering from gunshot wounds,” the Corona Police Department said in a statement.

“Rylee was an innocent and fun-loving girl with the most beautiful smile and laugh,” her friend Eva wrote.
“She was free-spirited and kind and was truly the life of any party.”
Rylee was going to Grand Canyon University, and she was studying business marketing. Rylee also had her own lash company called Lashed By Ry.
The day after Rylee and Anthony were both shot in their heads, officers arrested 20-year-old Joseph Jimenez and charged him with murder and robbery.
“Based on statements obtained, there is no known motive and it appears to be an unprovoked attack,” the Corona Police Department explained.
Joseph is currently behind bars at the Riverside Presley Detention Center and his bail has been set at $2 million dollars.
