Deadly Obsession: TikTok Star Ali Abulaban Will Stand Trial in Killing of Wife and Her Companion

Six gunshots rang out on the afternoon of October 21, 2021, and in seconds Ana Abulaban, only 28-years-old and her friend, 29-year-old Rayburn Cardenas Barron were gone forever. Who could have done this horrible act? And why?

?Ana and Ali Abulaban were a stunning couple. In one photograph Ana is seen in a form fitting dress looking so staggeringly gorgeous that she could have graced the cover of any high fashion magazine. Ali stands next to her, appearing supremely confident, as his hand rests on Ana’s waist. Ali was soaring high as a TikTok star having built up a following of nearly one million for his comedy skits and impersonations, particularly of the character Tony Montana from the famous 1983 film Scarface. Young, beautiful, successful, the world was at their feet, or so it seemed.

Although Ana was once smiling for the camera, on the afternoon of October 21, 2021, ?Ana was murdered. And the person accused of this unthinkable act is none other than her husband, Ali Abulaban. Did Ali really kill Ana, extinguishing her bright life in seconds and depriving their 5-year-old daughter of her mother forever?

According to the prosecution, he did, shooting Ana after believing she was cheating on him. Yet the couple had already separated with Ana deciding she was leaving the marriage for good, seeking finally to be free from domestic violence and Ali’s cheating ways. But Ali did not want to let her go.

I was in the courtroom for Ali’s preliminary hearing where chilling facts were revealed about the couple’s crumbling marriage, Ali’s deadly obsession, and the events of that final day. Here is my story.
