The Shocking Allegations: Gabbie Gonzalez's Involvement in Murder-for-Hire Plot Targeting Jack Avery
TikTok personality Gabbie Gonzalez and her father Francisco have been taken into custody for their alleged involvement in a murder-for-hire scheme targeting singer Jack Avery. Gabbie, known for her nature-themed content on social media, was apprehended in Humboldt County and later transferred to a Los Angeles County jail, while Francisco was arrested in Florida. The plot reportedly centered around obtaining damaging footage of Avery for a custody dispute, but escalated when Gabbie and her associate Kai Cordrey allegedly sought to enlist a third party, Dustin Barca, to intimidate Avery.
The alleged conspiracy, which authorities claim originated in 2021, involved electronic payments from Francisco and Gabbie to Cordrey under the guise of web development services. Cordrey, who purportedly never provided the services, cooperated with law enforcement and assisted in a sting operation where an agent posed as a hitman during a phone call with Francisco. The discussions during the call reportedly included details about the payments and the intended target, Jack Avery, the father of Gabbie's daughter Lavender and former lead singer of Why Don't We.
In a now-deleted Instagram post from May 2019, Avery shared the news of becoming a first-time father and expressed gratitude for the life-changing experience. The situation took a dark turn when Avery disclosed on The Zach Sang Show in September that he had received threats on his life, prompting him to stay indoors for an extended period out of fear. Despite the tumultuous history, Avery mentioned that his co-parenting relationship with Gonzalez had shown signs of improvement, acknowledging the challenges she faced as a young mother at 17.
Gabbie Gonzalez, who commands a sizable social media following with 473,000 Instagram followers and 417,000 TikTok fans (despite her departure from the platform in 2024), has been thrust into the spotlight for her alleged involvement in the murder-for-hire plot targeting Jack Avery. The unfolding legal proceedings have shed light on the complexities of her personal life and the disturbing events that have transpired, leaving many followers and onlookers shocked by the revelations.
