TL;DR

Prosecutors say social-media influencer Gabbie Gonzalez, her Florida-based father Francisco Gonzalez, and her ex Kai Cordrey plotted in 2021 to have ex-boy band member Jack Avery killed amid a custody dispute over their daughter Lavender. An undercover FBI agent posed as a hitman; payments totaling about $14,000 were wired through Cordrey. Gonzalez was arrested in California, Francisco Gonzalez was detained in Florida, while Cordrey’s status is unclear. Avery has sought a temporary restraining order and sole custody. If convicted, the three could face 25 years to life in prison.
