Overview
- Shots were fired at a contractor working at Sean Avery’s Hollywood Hills property and a bullet struck a contractor’s vehicle tire, with no injuries reported Tuesday.
- Police returned to the scene after an afternoon call about gunfire and took a nearby resident into custody; the detention was reported by multiple outlets and confirmed by law-enforcement sources.
- Officers had earlier visited the house that morning after a 911 caller complained of threats toward the contractors but found no evidence to take a report at that time.
- Avery posted on Instagram accusing a ‘crazy neighbor’ of shooting at the contractor’s tires and of trying to ‘frame’ him by sending two sex workers to the house, a claim that police have not independently verified.
- Investigators are continuing to piece together the sequence and motive for the confrontation while the incident highlights ongoing tensions between the couple’s renovation crew and nearby residents and could lead to criminal charges if evidence supports it.
