Anthony Barajas of TikTok Dies After Shooting at Movie Theater

The Riverside County district attorney, Mike Hestrin, said in a statement on Friday that Joseph Jimenez, 20, had been charged with, among other counts, murder and attempted murder.

The authorities said they were not releasing a motive for the shooting, and that there did not appear to be a connection between Mr. Jimenez and Mr. Barajas and Ms. Goodrich.

“Based on the evidence provided to our office, this appears to be a random and unprovoked attack,” the statement said.

The police said witness accounts led them to Mr. Jimenez, who was arrested on Tuesday night. Detectives served a search warrant at his home in El Cerrito, Calif., and recovered a firearm and other evidence related to the shooting, the police said.

Regal Edwards Corona Crossings theater was closed on Saturday, and theater officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The venue is set to open on Sunday, its website said.
