If convicted, he potentially faces life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
reported the TikTok star denied the charges, as well as an additional special-circumstance allegation of multiple killings, in San Diego Superior Court on Monday. He's accused of fatally shooting his estranged wife, Ana Abulaban, in her San Diego apartment last Thursday. Abulaban has also been charged with the murder of Rayburn Cardenas Barron, who was found dead in the living room.
Prior to the shooting, Brast said Abulaban went back to the apartment complex after hearing his wife and a man talking and giggling, where security footage captured him rushing into the apartment. There, he allegedly shot Barron three times and shot Ana Abulaban in the head before calling his mother to confess. Brast said a still-armed Abulaban went on to pick up their daughter from school and called police around 3:10 p.m. He was arrested 45 minutes later with his daughter still in the vehicle.
If convicted, Abulaban faces life in prison without parole. Prosecutors can also potentially seek the death penalty, though the DA's office has yet to announce whether they want to pursue that.
