causing her to fall and strike her head on the bed's Edge Ali admitted they were both high on cocaine and drunk during the altercation prosecutors revealed that Anna was planning to file a restraining order just before her death but in the leadup to the murder Ali's jealousy and paranoia over his wife made him suspect infidelity he covertly installed an app on their daughter's iPad turning it into a secret surveillance device to EES drop on Anna at home so the morning of the murders October 21st he puts this plan into action at 8:40 Anna took air to school you'll see all of this on surom 9:12 a.m. the defendant came to the Spire complex he entered through the lobby of one of the buildings he went up to the 35th floor and he used this key card that he had copied that he didn't return when he moved out like he had said he kept it to spy on his wife so he enters the apartment and Anna's not there and the defendant's pissed he calls her he messages her where are you you're not home you're cheating on me she's not with him anymore she can do whatever she wants she was moving on but he wouldn't let her so what does he do he trashes the apartment he throws a pumpkin on the ground he throws flowers on the ground he takes Anna's clothing and throws it down the trash shoe throws clothing all over the office and he records this on his phone right then he leaves the apartment he engages in a conversation with Anna which she'll hear where are you where are you you're cheating on me again still trying to control her even though she had left him he left the building around 9:50 and at 2:00 Anna and Ray came back to the apartment they were sitting on the couch they were drinking wine and talking and Anna saw the trash department took some pictures said it to her friend Julia and the defendant before he left put that Discord application on his daughter's iPad and he put the iPad on a charger behind the master bed in the bedroom so it was hiding so Anna couldn't see it defendant put a Discord application on his cell phone so that he could hear live conversations from the apartment so the defendant heard Anna with another man on the day of the murders Ali claimed he heard his wife wife and another man's voice laughing through the app consumed by Fury he snorted an unprecedented amount of cocaine grabbed a gun and raced to the apartment as he drove he testified that he kept using the drug later admitting let me just tell you when when you hear your wife talk about you to an undisclosed man that ising painful and this is while I'm driving 90 mph already like freaking out but then what happened was the voices stopped suddenly they were silent and I'm like what why don't I hear anything why they stop talking next I start hearing R&B music playing upon opening the front door to the apartment he testified that his heart pounded in his chest the sight that greeted him made his blood run cold his wife Anna with his friend Raburn Baron I immediately identify him as Ray and he goes like like what's up and for the record um you're moving your head and shin sort of up yeah in Emotion yes not enough um you stated that kind of in the way of saying

I felt I was trying to believe her I was trying to believe that she wasn't cheating on me that she would let me fix this cuz I was sick I was struggling from drugs and mental illness and I up I fed up a lot but I was trying to fix this and when I saw that it was him I couldn't take it I couldn't take the Betrayal emotion choking his voice at the stand Ali recounted how he snapped without any control over his actions he pulled out the gun and began firing wildly the sound of gunshots echoed through the apartment I couldn't believe that she could do that to me to our daughter and then before I could stop myself I just snapped my gun was in my hand and next to I'm shooting and and I can't stop I'm just shooting I'm shooting and I I'm even startled it's like I'm watching it happen I'm like I'm in the passenger seat of my own body I can't stop it and I hear Anna screaming and crying I don't even remember shooting Anna I just remember running back to the front door and I grabbed the door handle and then it hit me I'm like did that just happen and I turn around and I see I see Anna leaning forward while Ali admitted to remembering shooting at Baron he claimed no recollection of firing at Anna there's blood and I'm like Anna Anna Anna Anna I couldn't believe I did that I don't know I didn't mean to do that in a chilling twist he also denied remembering taking a photo at the scene describing himself as being in a fog unable to process the chaotic Whirlwind of violence the courtroom listened in shock as Ali portrayed himself as a man lost in a haze of rage and confusion his actions spiraling Beyond his control I can't believe it she's ly to me she said she's on a new higher training call 1 hour training on her phone I said where are you she said I'm at home she's ly I'm at home meanwhile tensions reached a boiling point prompting the judge to intervene after a fiery Exchange in which the prosecutor grilled Ali about an alleged assault on his mother Ali confessed that his undiagnosed mental health issues paired with a drug habit spiraling into daily use only worsened his explosive handling of their marital troubles this confession caused the courtroom to buzz with the raw intensity of his admissions now you could have stopped being violent with an in front of a mirror the first time it happened right not necessarily um my my cocaine usage was increasing my behavior was getting worse and worse I was becoming more erratic more impulsive my condition overall was not improving at any point but you could have physically stopped yourself from hurting your wife right I don't think I could no you couldn't have gotten any treatment for domestic violence I could could have of course you could have stayed away from Anna so that you weren't violent with her I could have prosecutors revealed that the couples moved from Virginia to San Diego was driven by Ali's Ambitions to break into the West Coast Talent scene hoping to turn his online popularity into mainstream success moreover in a December 2021 jailhouse interview with kswb Ali appeared more heartbroken over his inability to post as at genin kid a hobby he called my baby then over his wife's death he lamented his lost chance at stardom revealing his deep desire to become an actor and this all everything it's like C with my baby I love what I do I was I wanted to be an actor mhm and I was right there I was right there during a 2022 preliminary hearing Ali's Behavior took a shocking turn as autopsy photos were display he erupted into anguished whales shouting two bays struggled to hold him down as he disrupted the proceedings with his Outburst I wanted that your daughter I wanted that Mr mrot I need you to stop destroy Mr earlier in the trial prosecutor brast told jurors that Anna had reached her breaking point after Ali allegedly had a sexual encounter with another woman living in their building pushing her to the edge Anna made it clear she couldn't continue and wanted to leave the marriage but abulaban wouldn't move on however in a startling admission abulaban confessed to have being punched and pushed his wife multiple times in the months leading up to the tragic shooting he also revealed that he had actively dissuaded her from contacting the police or seeking a restraining order hoping to keep their tumultuous relationship Under Wraps wouldn't show her emotions a lot she that's why I would say things like in that transcript I'm like you don't have to be so strong all the time just let it out a lot of the hurtful things that I said was because I was trying to get a reaction I wanted some indication that my words and or my feelings matter to her but she was very good at making me feel like like I didn't matter to her when you would have these conversations and they would keep escalating and getting bigger and bigger and bigger and they would result in you know the the two times on September 8th and September 11th that you ended up touching her physically pushing her and um pushing her over and pushing her into the fridge those were things that that were clearly upsetting to her the courtroom drama intensified when security footage from a neighbor was played the video showed abulaban entering the apartment followed by the chilling sound of six gunshots amidst the chaos his anguished cries of Anna's name echoed and he was heard frantically calling his mother to confess what he had done [Music] [Music] adding to the emotional weight of the trial abou laan's mother Dalal wara took the stand and confirmed that her son had indeed called her immediately after the killings her testimony painted a grim picture of the aftermath of this tragic event she revealed that her son had even sent her a photo of the victim's bodies which she promptly deleted in horror um and then on October um 21st uh you received a phone call from Ali is that right yes um and he called you um after the shooting happened is that correct yes do you recall talking to him on the phone I just recall saying you know that's not funny that's that's not funny I don't say that that's not funny and then I received the picture I looked and I deleted it right away and I hung up the phone and I literally fell on the ground when you say um you were telling him that's not funny was that in response to him telling you you what had happened yeah before before he sent the picture um when you say the picture are you referring to a photo um of Anna and um R Baron on the couch yes I immediately deleted it wara admitted she knew about her son and his wife's rocky relationship but denied being aware of the numerous alleged incidents of domestic violence that prosecutors claimed her son committed on their marriage right I wasn't aware but I also don't believe it cuz I know how they were together okay but you you didn't read the police report from the Air Force right no right so you um the defendant obviously didn't tell you that not only did he punch Anna during that incident but he swung at other individuals too right the courtroom drama escalated when Deputy district attorney Taran brast questioned wara about a particular incident a boubon sister had reportedly witnessed him punching Anna captured her injuries in photos and sent them to their mother and were you aware that Anna called 911 to report the defendant being filed however she claimed she didn't remember receiving those pictures and was unaware of another incident where a buaban allegedly shoved Anna into a refrigerator when pressed on whether a buaban ever admitted to punching his wife in the face wara deflected by saying she HD him too and referenced a FaceTime call where she noticed scratches on her son's face and didn't tell you that he has punched Anna on other occasions uh she's she's hit him too okay I'm objection non responsive move to strike what I'm asking you is did the defendant tell you that he has punched Anna on a number of occasions punch not the word punch no what did the defendant tell you he physically has done they physically hurt each other that's what I know because he called me one time all scratched up and bleeding wait a minute is she trying to defend him nevertheless she painted a picture of her son and his wife as a blissfully happy couple before there moved to San Diego vehemently denying that her son was discharged from the US Air Force for allegedly punching his wife in the face while stationed in Japan first started be becoming knowing about Anna and the defendant when he was living in Japan right yes right did the defendant ever tell you that he was violent with Anna in Japan not that I know of no right uh you know that the defendant was discharged from the air force due to a domestic violence incident right or did the defendant not tell you those details no I uh I knew he was discharged but he was discharged because drinking a lot and going out and stuff okay but so the defendant did not tell you that part of the reason he was discharged from the Air Force was because he punched Anna in the face he didn't tell you that right I don't recall she admitted to knowing that Anna had called the police on her husband several times but testified that Anna never followed through with pressing charges or obtaining a restraining order report the defendant being violent I was aware she called several times and then canel the call no but she reported a call about the defendant being violent and the police responded to the home I after killing his wife a boubon dialed

commit the murders the courtroom was gripped with tension as the prosecutor displayed graphic photos AB buaban had taken of the bodies playing the harrowing recordings of gunshot from his phone and
