Who is Jinnkid’s wife Ana Abulaban?

Ana Abulaban was a popular content creator and social media influencer mainly on Instagram.

She had over 11,000 followers online and was also active on Facebook.

Ana was most well known for her relationship with disgraced Tiktoker Jinnkid.

The 28-year-old married the influencer, real name Ali Abulaban, and the pair had a young daughter together.

She lived in San Diego, California on Island Avenue with husband and toddler.

It is unclear what her educational background was.

Ana was known to live a fun, fast paced life and was regularly seen with her friends in bars and clubs enjoying her life.

Ali would tragically end up shooting her dead in their apartment on October 21, 2021.

What happened to Ana Abulaban?

Ana was gunned down by her husband Ali Abulaban in a high-rise apartment complex in San Diego in 2021.

The horror ordeal happened October 21 at 3pm in the afternoon after Ana was with a male friend in the apartment.

The 28-year-old and pal Rayburn Cardenas Barron, 29, were both found dead hours after the fatal shooting on a sofa, a court heard.

Deputy District Attorney Taren Brast said Ali shot Rayburn three times at close range in the neck, cheek and back of the head.

He then turned the gun on his wife and shot her once in the forehead, he said.

Ali had moved out of the apartment following an alleged domestic violence incident, say reports.

Ana had allegedly filed a restraining order against the social media star and was seeking a divorce.

Ali would later testify in court that he was using cocaine to cope with a number of emotional struggles he was facing at the time.

The couple had moved to San Diego just months before the deaths which put a huge strain on their relationship.

Ali claimed he started taking drugs after the move and that they would make him violent and aggressive.   

He had installed a listening device on his five-year-old daughter’s tablet to hear conversations from inside the apartment, the court heard.

Prosecutors said the Tiktoker was “jealous” and believed his wife was cheating on him with Rayburn.

Family close to Ana said the pair had been separated “for quite some time” before the shooting.

When was Jinnkid arrested?

Ali Abulaban was detained and arrested on the day of the double murder on October 21, 2021.

Brast said at the start of the court hearing: “The defendant fled the apartment.

“Neighbors had heard the gunshots, witnessed the defendant leaving the apartment. Then he made a phone call to his mother admitting that he shot and killed his wife.”

Police found Ali driving on the highway with his 5-year-old daughter after the incident occured.

“The defendant then fled the building, went to pick up his daughter from school, still had the loaded gun in his car,” Brast continued.

“Told his daughter that he ‘hurt mommy’ and then he was soon apprehended by the police.”

Prosecutors alleged that he secretly obtained a room key before gunning down the pair.

He was found guilty of shooting dead Ana and Rayburn in May and is due to be sentenced on June 28.

It is unclear what sentence he will be given but it is possible he will face life without the possibility of parole due to the first-degree murder charges.

Ali was seen with tears streaming down his face as the guilty verdict was called out.
