A TikTok star with nearly a million online followers pleaded not guilty on Monday to shooting and killing his newly estranged wife and a man she was with last week at a San Diego high-rise.

Prosecutors said Ali Abulaban had surreptitiously installed a listening device on his 5-year-old daughter’s tablet device, and when he heard his wife and another man talking, he went to her apartment and shot them to death, the Union-Tribune reported.

After the shootings, Abulaban, still armed, picked up his daughter from school, Deputy District Attorney Taren Brast said.

The details were revealed during the San Diego County Superior Court arraignment for Abulaban, who pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder as well as special-circumstance allegations of multiple killings, the newspaper reported.

Brast said outside court that Abulaban, 29, is a TikTok star known as JinnKid, with more than 940,000 followers on the social media app. His account features comedy skits and impersonations of the character Tony Montana from the 1983 film “Scarface.”

Abulaban’s attorney did not comment on the allegations during the hearing.

Police identified the victims as Ana Abulaban, 28, of San Diego and Rayburn Cadenas Barron, 29, of National City.

About two dozen family members and friends of the two victims packed the courtroom. Several of them sobbed as Brast shared details about last Thursday’s killings in San Diego’s East Village neighborhood.

Brast said Ali Abulaban confessed to detectives and accused his wife of cheating, although the prosecutor said she believes Barron was a friend.

According to Brast, Ana Abulaban had asked her husband to move out Oct. 18. He checked into a hotel.

Three days later, Brast said, Ali Abulaban sneaked back into the apartment and trashed it while his wife was gone. He also installed the listening app on his daughter’s iPad.

Hours later, Abulaban was listening to the app when he heard his wife and a man talking and giggling, Brast said, and he raced back to the high-rise. Security camera video showed him running out of the elevator to the apartment.

Brast said Abulaban shot Barron three times before shooting his wife in her head. Abulaban then called his mother and confessed, Brast said.

After he picked up his daughter, he called police while driving and they arrested him 45 minutes later. His daughter was in the vehicle.

Judge Kimberlee Lagotta ordered Abulaban jailed without bail. The judge also issued a protective order that requires Abulaban to stay away from his daughter, who is being cared for by family.

Alison Parker And Adam Ward Murdered On Live TV

The murders of Alison Parker and Adam Ward was a disturbing event that was caught on live TV in Virginia on August 26, 2015. According to police reports Alison Parker was a reporter who was being filed by Adam ward when Vester Lee Flanagan would walk up to the pair and opened fire killing the two WDBJ employees. Turns out Vester Lee Flanagan was recently let go by the TV station for poor conduct and he believed that the reason was that he was black and gay. After murdering Alison Parker and Adam Ward Vester Lee Flanagan would take off and would later kill himself following a standoff with police.

Six years later the video showing the murders of Alison Parker and Adam Ward is still floating around which to say the least is unnerving. The family of Alison Parker is pointing at Facebook for allowing the video to be used for advertising purposes.

Alison Parker And Adam Ward More News

The family of a slain journalist is asking the Federal Trade Commission to take action against Facebook for failing to remove online footage of her shooting death.

Andy Parker says the company is violating its own terms of service in hosting videos on Facebook and its sibling service Instagram that glorify violence.

His daughter, TV news reporter Alison Parker, and cameraman Adam Ward were killed by a former co-worker while reporting for CBS Roanoke, Virginia’s affiliate WDBJ-TV in August 2015. Video footage of the shooting — some of which was taken by the gunman — repeatedly resurfaces on Facebook and Instagram despite assurances from top executives that it will be removed, says a complaint being filed Tuesday by Parker and attorneys with the Georgetown Law Civil Rights Clinic.

“The reality is that Facebook and Instagram put the onus on victims and their families to do the policing of graphic content — requiring them to relive their worst moments over and over to curb the proliferation of these videos,” says the complaint.

The complaint says Facebook is engaging in deceptive trade practices by violating its own terms of service and misrepresenting the safety of the platform and how hard it is for users to get harmful content removed.

Facebook didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Andy Parker previously worked with the Georgetown law clinic to file a similar FTC complaint against Google and its YouTube service. The FTC doesn’t typically disclose whether or not it has decided to investigate a complaint.

In 2019, Andy Parker wrote a book called “For Alison” to honor his daughter.

“I wanted people to know some history of Alison and her accomplishments and the little things that she did that people didn’t know. I mean, the viewers around here saw her every day. They saw her smiling face, but there’s a lot more there,” Parker told WDBJ before the book’s release. “I wanted people to know about the Emmy she won, the Edward R Murrow she won and the way she touched people. The stories that I heard after that fact that I never knew about. Little acts of kindness that she did and the mentoring that she did. There were quite a few of those stories that I wanted to share with the reader.”

Cameron Herrin More News

A Florida judge sentenced a 21-year-old man to 24 years in prison for killing an Ohio mother and her young daughter in a 2018 traffic crash.

Hillsborough Circuit Judge Christopher Nash heard hours of testimony on Thursday before announcing his decision to send Cameron Herrin to prison.

“It’s impossible to have greater harm than occurred in this case,” the judge said.

Herrin’s family members began to weep as sheriff’s deputies placed him in handcuffs after the hearing, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

“I feel responsible for this accident,” Herrin’s mother, Cheryl Herrin, told the judge on Thursday. “If I could, I would step in front of Cameron, and I would accept the punishment you might render.”

Herrin hit Jessica Reisinger-Raubenolt and her 1-year-old daughter Lillia with the Mustang he’d received for his high school graduation two days earlier. They were visiting Tampa from Jeromesville, Ohio.

He was heading to a gym on the morning of May 23, 2018. Witnesses later told investigators that Herrin and his friend John Barrineau, who was driving a Nissan, appeared to be racing on Tampa’s Bayshore Boulevard. Police said Reisinger-Raubenolt, 24, was pushing her daughter in a stroller when Herrin’s car hit them.

Barrineau also pleaded guilty and is serving a six-year prison sentence, WFTS reported.

Prosecutors presented evidence that the Mustang topped 100 mph (160 kph) moments before the crash, rapidly decelerating to 30 and 40 mph (48 and 64 kph) at the time of impact.

David Raubenolt spoke for nearly an hour, telling the court that his wife loved children and was a parent who passed out notes to airplane passengers, apologizing if their child started to cry. He said he sweats when he enters his daughter’s room, where her crib remains untouched.

“It is critical for you to understand that you’ve created everlasting pain and depths of sorrow,” he said.

Curtis Allgier Skinhead Murders Prison Guard

When people think of prison inmates whose face is covered by tattoos the first one to come to mind is Curtis Allgier. Curtis Allgier came to prominence when he appeared on the old prison show on MSNBC called Lockup where he attempted to justify his white nationalist background.

However Curtis Allgier would once again come to the forefront when he was escorted from the prison to a hospital to check out a medical problem when he would kill a correctional officer and go the run. Curtis Allgier managed to delay his sentencing for years by acting as his own lawyer and his outlandish actions within the courtroom.

However in the end Curtis Allgier would receive a life in prison sentence without possibility of parole. Curtis Allgier rejected his white nationalist background and was engaged to a Hispanic woman

Curtis Allgier is not within the Utah prison sentence. Chances are due to his high profile case and the fact he murdered a prison guard means he is being housed out of State

Curtis Allgier More News

Utah inmate accused of killing a guard during a medical appointment said he had run out of hope and couldn’t see a future beyond prison, according to an Oregon tattoo artist who talked to him just a week earlier.

“He told me, ‘I don’t feel like I have anything left to live for,”‘ Kira Diamond told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Portland.

Diamond said she and Curtis Allgier exchanged letters and had almost weekly telephone conversations. She first contacted him last year after seeing him on an MSNBC program talking about prison life and tattoos, which include a swastika and “skin head” on his forehead.

Utah Department of Corrections officer Stephen Anderson, 60, was shot in the head with his own gun Monday while trying to prevent Allgier from escaping during a visit to a University of Utah clinic, police said.

Allgier fled, stole a car and led police on a high-speed chase before being captured inside an Arby’s restaurant.

In a round of media interviews Wednesday, Allgier, 27, admitted that he was trying to escape but denied pulling the trigger. He said the gun just “went off” during a struggle with Anderson.

At a news conference Thursday, Anderson’s family said their Mormon beliefs left them with no ill will toward Allgier, but they found his remarks “alarming.”

“At the same time, we have full trust in the police that they will satisfy the case,” cousin Mark Anderson said.

Anderson’s funeral is planned for Friday in Bluffdale.

Allgier is in the Salt Lake County jail awaiting charges, which could come Thursday. A telephone message left with defense attorney Michael Peterson was not immediately returned.

Allgier was in state prison for a parole violation on convictions for burglary and escape. Earlier this month, he was sentenced to nearly nine years in federal prison for a gun crime. His wife has also filed for divorce, Diamond said.

“He’s really been overwrought. Just really sad. You can only take so much loss in your life,” she said.

Diamond said she and Allgier talked about routine matters in letters and phone calls.

“We talked about our lives, what he wanted to do with his life,” she said. “He talked about construction, building houses, about wanting to have a family – normal stuff that anybody would want. Nothing grandiose or unrealistic.”

Jesse James Hollywood The Real Alpha Dog

The movie Alpha Dog was based on the Nicholas Markowitz murder which was ordered by Jesse James Hollywood in 2000. In this article on My Crime Library we will take a closer look at the real story behind Alpha Dog and where Jesse James Hollywood and the rest are now

Jesse James Hollywood Early Years

Jesse James Hollywood was born in 1980 in Los Angeles California to Jack and Laurie Hollywood. Jesse James was a good athlete and a stand out baseball player during his school years however a coach would describe him as highly emotional. Jesse James Hollywood would be expelled from school and would need to transfer to another high school. However Jesse James Hollywood athletic dreams would come to a halt due to a back and leg injury. Jesse James would begin to sell drugs in 1998 or 1999.

Jesse James Hollywood Drug Dealing

When Jesse James Hollywood began to sell drugs he recruited a number of friends to help expand his network including Benjamin Markowitz and Jesse Rugge. Soon Jesse James drug network began to grow and was bringing in good money however he was having a problem with Benjamin Markowitz who owed him over $35,000.

Nicholas Markowitz Murder

According to court papers Jesse James Hollywood, Jesse Rugge and William Skidmore were driving around looking for Benjamin Markowitz with no such luck however they came across Nicholas Markowitz who was fifteen years old at the time and they decided to grab him hoping to entice his brother to meet with Hollywood. The three would bring Nicholas to Santa Barbara where he was left with Jesse Rugge while Hollywood would return to Los Angeles.

This is when the kidnapping turned odd as Nicholas Markowitz was given drugs and alcohol and brought to a number of parties where numerous people saw him. Why he did not ask for help is still not understood.

Eventually Jesse James Hollywood realized that kidnapping is not seen well by the California court system and told Ryan Hoyte (who also owed Hollywood money) to murder the fifteen year old Nicholas Markowitz.

Nicholas Markowitz would be brought to a remote location where a grave had already been dug by Graham Pressley. Nicholas was hit over the head by a shovel and shot multiple times by Ryan Hoyte. The gun was thrown into the grave and dirt was used to cover the body and murder weapon.

Jesse James Hollywood Aftermath

Jesse James Hollywood would flee Los Angeles shortly after the murder and in the end would end in a small town in Brazil where he remained on the run for five years. Eventually Jesse James Hollywood would be arrested and extradited back to the United States where he would be convicted in the murder and kidnapping of Nicholas Markowitz where he would be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Jesse Rugge Aftermath

Jesse Rugge who befriended Nicholas Markowitz and told the fifteen year old he was safe would be convicted of murder and kidnaping would be sentenced to life in prison however he was eligible for parole after seven years. In the end Jesse Rugge would be released from prison after serving 11 years. Jesse Rugge was portrayed by Justin Timberlake in Alpha Dog

More News

Jesse Rugge (pictured), convicted on charges of aggravated kidnapping in connection with the killing of 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz 13 years ago, was released from Chino prison after serving 11 years of a life sentence. The state parole board voted to release Rugge over the objections of Governor Jerry Brown, Santa Barbara prosecutors, and Susan Markowitz, the victim’s mother.

Rugge was one of five young men arrested and convicted for the shooting masterminded by Jesse James Hollywood, a small-time San Fernando Valley pot dealer who ordered the kidnapping after Markowitz’s older brother ripped him off in a drug deal. Prosecutors alleged that Rugge was more intimately involved in the killing but could never prove it. Susan Markowitz reminded the 12 parole board officers that Rugge had initially told investigators that he had bound her son’s wrists with duct tape and had helped bury him after he’d been shot in the face at a location near Lizard’s Mouth. But those admissions were ruled inadmissible by Judge William Gordon because the investigator had suggested Rugge could face the death penalty if he didn’t confess. Rugge has never repeated those admissions, and during his trial he testified that he had left the group after they’d arrived at Lizard’s Mouth and had no idea that a murder was in the making.

Speaking to the parole boardmembers, Rugge said he took responsibility for Markowitz’s death because his role in the kidnapping precipitated the chain of events that led to the murder. Ron Zonen, who prosecuted Rugge and the other four defendants, termed the admission “shallow and cynical,” and he objected that Rugge has never really acknowledged the depth of his involvement. According to state prison records, Rugge — now 33 — had been a model prisoner, had taken numerous classes, completed his GED, and participated in AA meetings. Rugge had come up for release several times prior, but he had always been turned down. Hollywood was convicted of ordering Markowitz killed and was sentenced to life. Ryan Hoyt, the actual triggerman, was sentenced to death. One of Hoyt’s attorneys was disbarred for professional misconduct shortly after his conviction. Whether Hoyt received competent representation will be the subject of lengthy appeals.
