@truecrimerecollections: Ali Abulaban, once a TikTok figure, was tried for the October 21, 2021 double homicide of his estranged wife, Ana Abulaban, and her companion Rayburn Barron in a San Diego high-rise apartment. After their separation, Ana and their daughter had moved out; three days before the killings, Ali agreed to vacate the apartment but secretly made a duplicate key and installed an app on their daughter’s iPad to eavesdrop on the home. On the day of the murders, surveillance footage captured Ali entering the apartment building, sprinting to the unit, and, just seconds after exiting the elevator, four gunshots were fired. He then called his mother and admitted, “I just shot Ana. I shot her in the head and killed her.” During trial coverage and viewer commentary, many described Ali’s courtroom behavior as erratic, lacking remorse, and manipulative. One observer noted: > “He only teared up once when he spoke of his daughter… he mocked their clapping.” Another recounted his “jail rant,” in which he angrily challenged prosecutors and seemed to treat his public defenders as though they were under his control. Reddit threads also referenced his testimony, describing his on-the-stand demeanor as self-sabotaging, and questioned the motives of family members who did or did not support him. Ultimately, the jury found Ali guilty on two counts of first-degree murder. At sentencing, the judge declared, “He will die in prison,” receiving a life sentence without possibility of parole amid applause from the courtroom. #alia#aliabulabana#aliabulabancasea#aliabulabaninterviewa#aliabulabantrial
