At only 19 years old, the young videographer leaves his 983,000 subscribers in mourning. On Monday, July 26, Anthony Barajas, better known by the pseudonym “itsanthonymichael”, goes to the cinema in the city of Corona, California. He is going to see the movie American Nightmare 5 : Sans limites, in the company of his girlfriend. Suddenly, an armed man enters the room and starts firing on both.
The young man is touched. He was taken to hospital where doctors put him on life support. His 18-year-old partner, Rylee Goodrich, is dead instantly. The two, who were among the few spectators who came that evening, had been discovered by cinema staff at the end of the screening. The social media star is died the following Saturday in hospital.
Police arrested a 20-year-old suspect, Joseph Jimenez, but said they favored the trail ofa “free attack”. The police specified that a “firearm and other evidence linking him to the crime scene were discovered” at the home of the suspect. Objects were stolen during the attack, but that does not appear to be the motive, according to police, who added that Joseph Jimenez had acted alone, and had a priori no links with his victims.
