Anthony Barajas, a famous Tik Tok celebrity, has died of his injuries after a shooting in a California cinema that left another victim, according to local police.

Anthony Barajas, 19, and Riley Goodrich, one of his friends, were attending the screening of "The Forever Burg" last week in a cinema in Corona, about 75 kilometers from Los Angeles, when a man opened fire.

At the end of the show, workers in the cinema found the two friends, who were among the few spectators who were attending the movie show that night.

Riley Goodrich died on the spot, while Anthony Barajas was taken to hospital with a serious injury.

Corona police said he died of his injuries.

Anthony Barajas, better known online as "Its Anthony Michael," had more than a million followers on Tik Tok, where he posted short videos documenting his daily life.

The police arrested the 20-year-old suspect, Joseph Jimenez, but said they favored the hypothesis of an "unprovoked attack".

Security forces said that "a firearm and other evidence linking it to the crime scene were found" at the suspect's home.

Items were stolen during the attack without this being the primary motive for the crime, according to the police.
