Overview
- Prosecutors in Los Angeles unsealed felony charges this week accusing Gabriela “Gabbie” Gonzalez, her father Francisco Gonzalez and Kai Cordrey of attempted murder, conspiracy and solicitation for an alleged plot to kill singer Jack Avery.
- Gabbie Gonzalez was arrested and booked on May 15 and brought to Los Angeles for arraignment where bail was set at $2 million and a judge ordered her to stay at least 100 yards from Avery and their child.
- Prosecutors say the scheme began in 2021, involved dark‑web murder‑for‑hire accounts and Bitcoin payments, and included a $10,000 front payment that Francisco Gonzalez allegedly wired to an intermediary.
- The case was foiled after an FBI undercover agent posed as a hitman and recorded communications that prosecutors say, together with bank records and witness statements, helped build the case.
- Avery has filed for a restraining order and temporary custody actions, the child was briefly placed with a foster family and the three defendants face possible sentences of 25 years to life if convicted.
