The father of an 18-year-old woman who was killed in a California movie theater shooting confronted the accused shooter during a court appearance.
“Look at me. Look at me!” shouted Dave Goodrich to Joseph Jimenez, 20, at the Riverside Hall of Justice Friday.
“It was my daughter,” he continued, as he started to cry. Several people had to restrain the grieving father at some point in the confrontation, Fox 11 reported.

Jimenez was arrested on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and theft Tuesday after the fatal shooting at a screening of “The Forever Purge” at Crossings Mall on Monday night in Corona.
Rylee Goodrich was in the theater on a first date with social media influencer Anthony Barajas, 19. She died at the scene, while Barajas was taken to hospital and on life support.
The couple were found by theater workers cleaning up after the horror film premiered at 9:35 p.m.
“This is my baby, my firstborn” said Danielle Goodrich, mother of Rylee Goodrich. “And, she got ripped off 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 faces the death penalty if convicted. His arraignment was delayed until August 5.
