Overview
- Los Angeles prosecutors on Tuesday charged Gabriela “Gabbie” Gonzalez, her father Francisco Gonzalez and Kai Cordrey with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and solicitation of murder.
- Gonzalez was arrested on Friday, May 15 in Humboldt County and transferred to Los Angeles; her father was arrested in Florida on May 18 and is awaiting extradition while court records show Gonzalez is held on $2 million bail with a 100‑yard no‑contact order.
- Prosecutors say the plot dates to 2020–2021, that Francisco wired about $10,000 and later $4,000 to fund a hit, and that the defendants discussed hiring a killer on dark‑web channels and paying in cryptocurrency.
- Investigators say the scheme was stopped after an undercover FBI agent posed as a hitman and recorded communications that, along with bank records, witness statements and surveillance work, form the basis of the case.
- If convicted each defendant faces 25 years to life in state prison and the criminal filings have already produced immediate custody and protective‑order actions affecting the child and the parties’ public profiles.
