Former TikTok Star Sentenced For Murdering His Wife And Her Male Friend
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING A former TikTok star was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole for fatally shooting his estranged wife and another man in their Southern California high-rise apartment in 2021. Facebook / GoFundMe Ali Abulaban’s defense team argued that he had acted in the heat of passion and asked the jury to find him guilty of the lesser charges of voluntary manslaughter or second-degree murder. On the morning of the killings, while the couple’s then-5-year-old daughter was at school, Ali Abulaban broke into the apartment and hid a microphone device in his wife’s bedroom so he could listen remotely. “Your sick narcissism cut short two beautiful lives at their prime and left a devastation of broken hearts on Ray’s and Ana’s side, and your side as well,” she said. “He’s a very talented actor,” the judge said, referring to Abulaban’s behavior in his courtroom and his TikTok videos.
