The father of an 18-year-old woman who was killed in a movie theater shooting in California confronted the accused shooter during a court appearance.
"Look at me. Look at me!" yelled Dave Goodrich at 20-year-old Joseph Jimenez at the Riverside Hall of Justice on Friday.
"That was my daughter," he continued, as he began tearing up. Several people had to hold the grieving father back at one point during the confrontation, Fox 11 reported.
Jimenez was arrested on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and robbery on Tuesday after the fatal shooting during a screening of "The Forever Purge" at The Crossings Mall Monday evening in Corona.
Rylee Goodrich was in the theater on a first date with social media influencer 19-year-old Anthony Barajas. She died on the scene, while Barajas was taken to a hospital and is on life support.
The couple was found by theater workers cleaning up after the 9:35 p.m. showing of the horror movie.
"She's my baby, my first born," said Danielle Goodrich, Rylee Goodrich’s mother. "And, she got ripped away doing something so innocent, and it breaks my heart.
"Poor Anthony. They were just starting their relationship. He's a beautiful boy, and my heart goes out to his family," she added.
Jimenez was charged with murder and attempted murder on Friday and is eligible for the death penalty if convicted.

That’s a good question......cops don’t know.
Illegal and is now a validated gang member.
It California. He will be released on his own recognizance.
This doesn’t answer but says he went to school in the US:
Local story report in Press-Enterprise said:
And although police say Rylee Goodrich’s wallet was found in Jimenez’s car, the DA did not file a robbery charge. Hall declined to explain that decision beyond a statement that the DA files charges it believes it can prove.
Corona police said Jimenez shot Goodrich and Barajas in an unprovoked attack. A search of his home found a gun of the same caliber used in the shooting, police said. Police also said they found Goodrich’s wallet in his car.
Jimenez has no previous adult criminal record, police said.
Jimenez is a resident of an unincorporated county area near Corona known as El Cerrito. He attended Home Gardens Academy, a K-8 school, from 2006 to 2015, and Santiago High from 2015 to 2019 before graduating, said Evita Tapia-Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for the Corona-Norco Unified School District.

US News reported on the school that it is a public education school and “The school’s minority student enrollment is 98%.The student-teacher ratio is 26:1, which is worse than that of the district.”
Before “civilized” countries came up with the “criminal justice system,” aggrieved family members enacted justice upon murderers and rapists. Still happens in some societies. Worth reconsidering.
“...His first name is Joseph...”
Two bits says his name is actually “Jose.”
Like to have seen dad sneak in an appropriate weapon.
It’s a loud violent movie, might not have been noticeable in the surround sound barrage of on screen shooting.
If that was my Daughter, after he was sentenced he would be room temperature.

not sure about this father though..
“Dad who lost daughter in movie theater shooting wonders why there were no metal detectors”

And I’ll put money down that this was a gang hit on Barajas.
A gang member?...........a hit for the gang?
I know this should not be my focus but on first reading I honestly thought the father had confronted his daughter’s killer in the movie theatre. I figured the killer was on bail.
“social media influencer”
I see a lot of folks described as internet influencers and social media influencers etc etc. I’m wondering if you need a college degree of some kind to get that job and how much it pays.
Are you aware, Drew, that Joe Biden is allowing hundreds of thousands of illegals cross into Texas, California, Arizona......and are then bussed or flown to any city or state of their choosing, regardless IF their first name is Joe!
Are you aware that gang initiation involves shooting/ killing someone?
A saner society would let the father hang the murderer of his daughter.
No. You don't need a degree. You need followers. Someone with a half a million followers as Anthony Barajas had could easily be clearing several hundred thousand dollars a year through sponsored posts.
There's real money out there in this stuff. There's 20-year old millionaires playing video games on YouTube and giving fashion and makeup advice on Instagram.
Yes. There's also millions of Americans with Hispanic surnames who were born here.

That's more of an urban legend, not saying it doesn't happen.
