Unable to Start Camry LE 2000

I have a camry 2000 LE.

2 weeks ago, my friend was waiting in my car and played the CD player
while the car is not running, it played for about 5 min. I came out and
it failed to start. After each crank, the alarm would go off.
I managed to get a jump start and everything was OK.

Today, I left the main lights on for like 3 min by accident w/o engine
running and when I saw that, I immediately turned it off. Tried to
start it and it cranked, but same problem as mentioned earlier.

Does anybody know or have any idea what is wrong?
Starter?
Alternator?
Battery?
Spark Plugs?
Spark Plug cables?

Anybody.. please..

TIA

Most likely a dying battery. Any parts store can test it for you and
most will even swap in a new one if the battery is the problem.

A 2000 Camry original battery? No warning light while the car was running?
Terminals clean?

It's the battery. The one on my father's 2000 Camry went last week.

Four or five years is pretty much it for a battery's reliability.
