JinnKid arrested – Inside deadly side of TikTok where stars ‘murder, die smuggling illegal immigrants, & get shot’
APART from tricks, dancing clips and tutorials, TikTok has a darker side where stars ‘murder’, get shot and even die trying to smuggle illegal immigrants.
The most recent example is that of TikToker JinnKid, who was arrested in San Diego after being accused of allegedly shooting his wife and her companion.
The social media star, whose real name is Ali Abulaban, boasts over 940,000 followers on TikTok and he is best known for his impressions of Scarface, John Wick, the Godfather and more.
The 29-year-old is accused of shooting his wife Ana Abulaban, 28 and Rayburn Cardenas Barron, 29 in a high-rise apartment complex.
The incident occurred last week on October 21 and police said they found Ali later driving on the highway with his 5-year-old daughter.
Ali has denied all charges against him.
He is accused of installing a listening device on his daughter’s iPad to be able to snoop on conversations in the apartment.
Deputy District Attorney Taren Brast said that after the alleged incident, Ali went to pick up his daughter from school, with the loaded gun still in his car.
