TikTok star accused of killing wife and her male friend was "extremely jealous," cousin says
CBSN
A TikTok star accused of killing his newly estranged wife and her male friend in San Diego last week was "extremely jealous," the star's cousin told CBS affiliate KFMB-TV. Louie Marinari told the station he met with his cousin Ali Abulaban three days before prosecutors say Abulaban fatally shot his wife Ana Abulaban, 28, and her friend Rayburn Barron, 29.
Ali Abulaban, 29, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges and is being held without bail. If he's convicted, he could face the death penalty.
He's known as JinnKid on TikTok, the popular short video app. When Marinari met with his cousin days before the killings, Marinari told KFMB-TV that Ali Abulaban pulled out a bag of cocaine.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
