A former San Diego TikToker will spend the rest of his life in prison for killing his estranged wife and her friend at an East Village high-rise apartment building in October of 2021, a judge ruled Friday.
The judge ruled Ali Abulaban, 32 — who went by "JinnKid" on social media — will serve two consecutive 25-year to life sentences for the murders of Ana Abulaban, 28, and Rayburn Cardenas Barron, 29, at the Spire San Diego luxury apartment complex, which he admitted to during trial.
Upon sentencing, the judge said he had "serious reservations" that Abulaban was truly remorseful for his actions.
"He's a very selfish person, as I think the jury saw," the San Diego Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser said. "The bottom line here is, he will die in prison, he will never be a free man. He will take his last breath there."
