TikTok star, JinnKid Convicted for murdering his wife and ‘her lover’

A former TikTok star has been convicted for the murders of his estranged wife and her lover in San Diego in 2021.
San Diego-based Tik Toker Ali Abulaban, 32, was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for his wife Ana, 28, and her male friend Rayburn Barron, 29, on Wednesday, May 29, People reports.
In court, Abulaban, who had nearly a million followers for his skits under the moniker Jinnkid, broke down in tears as he learned the jury’s verdict.
He confessed to the murders during the trial and has been in prison since the October 2021 killings. He will be sentenced on June 28 and could face life in jail.
“Finally, my brother and Ana got a little bit of justice,” Barron’s sister, Jordana Barron, said on Wednesday.
“Obviously nothing is going to bring our brother or Ana back, but at least he is never going to be able to do this to another person again.”
On Friday, closing arguments in the case concluded and the jury began its deliberations, deciding whether the killings were first- or second-degree murder.
Abulaban was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, with allegations of using a gun in the killings.
He was also charged with a special circumstance allegation of committing multiple murders.
The defence had hoped the jury would find him guilty of second-degree murder, meaning his sentencing would be far less.
He was instead found guilty of all counts and special circumstances.
It’s a relief. We’ve been waiting almost three years for this,” said Julia Stuntz, Ana’s best friend.
Since there was no dispute he killed the victims, jurors were instead tasked with deciding whether the killings were intentional and premeditated or committed in the heat of passion, as Abulaban had claimed.
“The jury came in and listened to the evidence for weeks, and they came to the right decision,” Deputy District Attorney Taren Brast said.
In her closing arguments, Brast went through a timeline of the day Abulaban killed Ana Abulaban and her friend Barron.
Brast described how Abulaban had spied on Ana to catch her with another man, and that he had malice and intent to shoot them to death on the couch in the apartment where he once lived.
“Heat of passion does not apply when you walk into an apartment that you had bugged, with a key card you were not supposed to have, to a fight that no one else knew was happening but you,” Brast said.
“And you brought a gun.
“That is not heat of passion.”
Brast said Abulaban had plenty of time to rethink his decision to drive to the downtown luxury condo he shared with his wife to shoot and kill her and the man she was seeing.
The prosecutor displayed the graphic photos Abulaban took of the bodies, played the sounds of the gunshot recordings he had on his phone and even mentioned the online searches for how to cut up and trash a body, among other things.
She said Ali Abulaban killed the couple because he felt disrespected, and this was planned and premeditated, not a reaction in the heat of the moment.
Brast also mentioned the history of domestic violence and Ana’s text messages to Abulaban expressing her fear and desire to leave the marriage.
She also outlined the chances Abulaban had to rethink his actions, including during the drive to the apartment to confront Ana and Barron, and even in the ride up in the elevator.
“It was wilful, deliberate, and premeditated,” Brast said.
Jodi Green, Ali Abulaban’s defence attorney, then presented her closing arguments.
Green told the court her client shouldn’t be convicted of murder because he had a bad childhood, mental health issues and was high on cocaine.
The defence attorney also pointed out the fact that Ali Abulaban was re-racking his gun in between shots, which is unnecessary, and that it proves he was out of his mind, as well that he had cocaine in his system eight hours later, proving he was not of sound mind.
“Ali Abulaban is not a murderer,” Green said.
“Yes, he killed Ana, the woman he loved, the mother of his beautiful daughter, Amira, and he killed Ray, a man with whom Ana was having an affair.
“And he cannot undo what he has done.
“But he did not murder them. He is not a murderer.”

Mohbad’s Inquest: Pathologist reveals major findings following 2nd autopsy

The Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, presiding over the inquest into the death of late singer Mohbad, has announced that the date for delivering the final decision will be communicated to all parties involved.
This development came on Friday during a session at the Magistrates’ Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, where the last witness, forensic pathologist Dr. Uwom Eze, testified. Dr. Eze conducted the second autopsy and a medical review on Mohbad’s remains after public pressure led to an independent examination.
Under cross-examination by Abiodun Kolawole, representing the African Women Lawyers Association, Dr. Eze disclosed that Mohbad was not found to be abusing hard drugs, contrary to widespread allegations. He revealed that the singer had been administered “regulated” doses of antihistamines and painkillers — medications typically used to treat allergies and manage pain — indicating Mohbad was experiencing significant discomfort before his death.
However, Dr. Eze noted a critical gap: he could not ascertain how the injection that reportedly preceded Mohbad’s death was administered due to a lack of available information. He explained that during the autopsy, he examined an injury on the back of Mohbad’s right arm for potential deeper penetration that could have led to death, but found the wound to be superficial.
“Even a newborn baby won’t die from that injury. At the time I conducted the autopsy, the injury wasn’t even there, perhaps due to post-mortem changes. I couldn’t tell how the injection was given, because I had already lost (his) fluids,” Eze said.
At an earlier session, Dr. Eze had stated that the cause of death could not be conclusively determined because of the advanced stage of decomposition. Nevertheless, he pointed to the likelihood of a “severe and rapid hypersensitivity reaction” — a strong allergic reaction — caused by a substance administered via injection.
Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Aloba, died on September 12, 2023, shortly after sustaining an injury and being treated at his Lekki home. He reportedly developed convulsions after being given an injection by a nurse and died soon after. He was buried the following day.
Dr. Eze also stated, when questioned by the family’s lead counsel Wahab Shittu (SAN), that the treatment given to the late singer by the nurse resembled a case of “medical misadventure.”
As the inquest nears its end, the public and all parties await the coroner’s final decision, which is expected to address the lingering questions surrounding Mohbad’s tragic death.

My Husband Died During a Live Stream – Pregnant Wife of Popular TikToker

The wife of popular TikToker known as Disturbing, who was involved in the ‘JUSTICE FOR MOHBAD’ movement, has narrated how her husband died during a live stream.
The news was confirmed by investigative journalist Temilola Sobola, who shared the viral footage with the caption, “A popular TikToker known as Disturbing who was also into JUSTICE FOR MOHBAD passed away some hours ago while he was on a live video…”
The disturbing incident, which has gone viral across various social media platforms, captured the final moments of the content creator as he appeared to suffer what looks like seizure before passing away in front of camera.
Disturbing, who became popular for his consistent involvement in the “Justice for Mohbad” movement, was visibly distressed before collapsing. He never recovered.
Netizens commented that Disturbing had been seen vocally cursing individuals linked to the late singer Mohbad’s case, including Mohbad’s mother, widow, his brother Adura, and Liam, during his live broadcast.
Reacting to the incident, the wife said her husband had a seizure during live stream, fell down and hit his head on a stone that was in front of him
According to her, “Yesterday morning, my husband was on TikTok live video while I was cooking his food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he had a seizure, fell down and hit his head on a stone that was in front of him.
B*l00d was coming out of his head. A young boy and some neighbours that were passing by saw him. They thought he fainted so they started pouring water on him.
A young boy ran inside and called me from the kitchen. When I got there, I told them to stop pouring water, that it was seizure. We quickly rushed him to the hospital where they placed him on oxygen. He passed away this morning.
That was not the first time he would be having seizures. He used to have it and he was on medications. The last time he had it was in February this year.
I have never left him to be by himself because of this seizure. If not that I was cooking in the kitchen, I would have grabbed him when the seizure happened.
To everyone saying it was a spiritual attack, I don’t believe it. It was a medical condition he had been battling with for a long time…”
