What if my character is the same distance from the shooting model than another unit?

Does the shooting player get to choose whats "next" or can he only shoot the other unit?
My enemy argues, that he gets to choose whats next, I argue that "next" is only ever 1 model.

The BRB does not say anything about choosing.

If they really are the exact same distance away, then you may not choose the character as a target.

The rule for characters says the character must be the closest. Equal distance is not closest.

I would let you choose based solely on fun and rule of cool.

This is correct.

Q. When a rule refers to the ‘nearest’ unit/model, and two are
equidistant, who decides which is the nearest?
A. Unless stated otherwise, the player controlling the
unit that is using the rule decides.
For example, if a psyker manifested the Smite psychic
power, and two enemy units were both exactly 4" away,
the player controlling the psyker could choose which
is the ‘closest’ and hence which suffers damage from
the power.
