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.

A jury in May found Ali Abulaban, 32, guilty on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Ana Abulaban, 28, and Rayburn Barron, 29, who had been cuddling on the couch when he burst into the apartment and fired six shots at them.

Abulaban, a rising star on TikTok known for his comedic Scarface impressions, did not deny killing his wife and her friend but testified that he snapped after finding them together in the San Diego apartment that the Abulabans had shared with their young daughter.
