Gabriela Lauren Gonzalez, a social media influencer who shares a daughter with former Why Don’t We member Jack Avery, has been arrested and charged with hiring a hitman to kill Avery amid a child custody dispute, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office revealed on Tuesday (May 19).
According to a press release released by the D.A.’s office, Gonzalez is alleged to have sought the assistance of her then-boyfriend, Kai Faron Cordrey, to solicit a hitman to kill Avery after she and Avery became embroiled in a custody battle over their now-seven-year-old daughter between 2020 and 2021. Gonzalez’s father, Francisco Gonzalez, is alleged to have sent Cordrey a total of $14,000 to use in locating, hiring and paying someone to accomplish the deed.
