AceShowbiz -TikTok star Anthony Barajas is on life support after a shooting at a California cinema claimed the life of his friend.
The 19 year old was seriously injured in the Monday (26Jul21) shooting at a movie theatre in Corona, which claimed the life of his friend Rylee Goodrich, 18, who died from her injuries on the scene.
Anthony’s cousin, Jamie Bacon, shared a heartbreaking update to Twitter on Wednesday (28Jul21), writing, “My cousin was shot on Monday night. He won’t make it. The family could use help with medical bills and beyond. At the very least, prayers, thoughts, vibes needed please.”
