Enrique Padilla is presently in hot waters over his impulsive behaviour leading to what is now known as the Albuquerque theatre shooting incident.

In case you have not heard the story, let’s fill you in before we talk extensively about Padilla.

Michael Tenorio was shot and died inside Albuquerque’s Century Rio Theater at 8:50 on Sunday night while watching Lawrence’s newest romantic comedy, according to the Albuquerque News Journal. Enrique Padilla, 19, the alleged shooter, was taken into custody on Monday.

According to a criminal complaint the newspaper was able to obtain, Tenorio and his wife, Trina Tenorio, bought seats 8 and 11 in Row F of the cinema after a staff member advised them to ask the two customers in seats 9 and 10 to go down a seat.

However, when Padilla and his girlfriend arrived, there was a fight between the two couples over the seats that required intervention from a staff member and eventually led to Padilla tossing an entire tub of popcorn in Trina Tenorio’s direction.

Around 9 o’clock, witnesses reported that the brawl resumed as the previews started to air. Tenorio is claimed to have yelled “What the hell?” before shoving Padilla against the wall.

After then, there was gunfire, which caused the theatre to fill with smoke and sent other moviegoers fleeing to the exits. Padilla left the theatre using an emergency exit but was quickly discovered lying in the adjacent bushes with an abdominal gunshot wound. According to the lawsuit, a casing discovered in the bushes matched the casing in the theatre.

How Padilla was shot was unclear at first. According to Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina, Tenorio was pronounced dead at the scene despite CPR being administered by an off-duty police officer who was present in the cinema at the time of the incident.

According to a news release from the Albuquerque Police Department, Enrique Padilla, 19, is accused of shooting and killing Michael Tenorio, 52, around 9 p.m. Sunday at the Cinemark Century Rio theatre in northeast Albuquerque during a screening of the new comedy “No Hard Feelings” after a dispute arose over seats.

According to the authorities, Tenorio was with his wife and Padilla was with his girlfriend. Before things got out of hand, the movie theatre employees reportedly made futile attempts to mediate the conflict.

According to authorities, Tenorio allegedly shoved Padilla toward a wall after Tenorio allegedly hurled a bucket of popcorn at Padilla and his wife before the shooting. Padilla allegedly fired “several shots” at Tenorio at that point, causing him to pass out, according to the police.
