It has been reported that Ana was the victim of domestic violence at the hands of Ali. In September, an incident was logged where Ali pushed Ana causing an injury that was witnessed by their young daughter.
Ana told her husband to leave their apartment on October 18th but Ali made a copy of the key. On October 21st, he entered the apartment vandalising it and then proceeded to install a listening device on his daughter’s iPad to spy on his wife.
Who was Rayburn Barron?
Originally from Mexico, Rayburn Cardenas Barron was 29-years-old and friends with Ana Abulaban. Ali Abulaban suspected that Rayburn was “her new lover.”
Rayburn was described by friends and family as “an amazing brother, son, nephew, cousin and friend who touched all the lives around him.”
His family said: “Rayburn dedicated his life to always putting his family first. In many ways he was the glue to his family, always reaching out to family to bring everyone closer. He was a loyal friend who you could always count on to be there in a time of need. Ray made an impact on so many lives with his love and thoughtful acts.”
Has Ali Abulaban been charged with the double murders?
Officers discovered Ana Abulaban and Rayburn Barron inside the San Diego apartment with gunshot wounds to their upper bodies and they tragically passed away at the scene at around 3:30 pm.
According to E! Online, despite Ali pleading not guilty to the double murder of his wife and her friend, he has been charged with both murders. Ali Abulaban has been ordered by the judge to be jailed without bail and he must stay away from his daughter as part of a protective order.
