Influencer Gabbie Gonzalez Arrested for Felony Conspiracy to Commit a Crime

Authorities say the pair were held without bail on conspiracy to commit murder charges tied to a custody dispute over their 7-year-old daughter.

  • L.A. County prosecutors charged influencer Gabbie Gonzalez, her father Francisco Gonzalez, and Hawaiian surf instructor Kai Cordrey on Tuesday with conspiracy and attempted murder, alleging they plotted to kill former boy band singer Jack Avery.
  • The alleged scheme stemmed from a custody battle between Avery and Gabriela over their 7-year-old daughter, Lavender, with Francisco allegedly claiming it would be cheaper if the singer were dead.
  • FBI agents visited Avery's home to notify him of the conspiracy, though he had previously discussed his strained co-parenting relationship on the Zach Sang Show in September, saying he and Gabriela had worked to reconcile.
  • Authorities arrested Gabriela in Los Angeles on Monday, while law enforcement took Francisco into custody in Florida the same day; both face felony charges including conspiracy and attempted murder.
  • Law enforcement sources said the FBI intercepted the alleged scheme years ago, ensuring Avery was never in actual danger throughout the investigation despite the serious charges filed.
