CALIFORNIA – A former TikTok star who shot and killed his wife and another man in his home was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder.
Ali Abulaban, 32, who is also known as the content creator “JinnKid” on TikTok and other platforms, was found guilty by a San Diego jury in the killings of his wife Ana Abulaban, 28 and Rayburn Cardenas Barron, 29, who were both in Abulaban’s home.
Prosecutors alleged that Abulaban killed both victims because he was angry that he his wife no longer wanted to be married to him.
Jurors had to decide whether the killings were intentional and premeditated or committed in the heat of passion.
His defense attorney argued that on the day of the day of the murders, Abulaban’s suspicions of his wife’s infidelity were confirmed when he saw her on their couch cuddling with Barron.
The TikToker took the stand for three days, testifying that he “snapped”, saying that next thing he knew, “I’m shooting, and I can’t stop.”
Abulaban is expected to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
His sentencing is scheduled for June 28.
