A 20-year-old accused in the fatal shooting of a TikTok star and his friend at a Corona movie theater in July pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity Monday. Among the patrons were Anthony Barajas, a 19-year-old TikTok star who lived in Corona, and Rylee Goodrich, 18, also of Corona. Goodrich was targeted next — like Barajas, shot point blank in the head. Jimenez told the newspaper he had recently been diagnosed with schizophrenia but had stopped taking his medication because he ran out of pills. In California, defendants found not guilty by reason of insanity still must be treated in a state mental hospital.
