Jack Avery Reportedly Left Los Angeles After Gabriela Gonzalez’s Alleged Murder-for-Hire Plot

Former Why Don't We singer Jack Avery has reportedly left Los Angeles with his family following the arrest of influencer Gabriela Gonzalez in connection with an alleged murder-for-hire plot targeting him. According to TMZ, Avery recently left the city with his mother, girlfriend, and 7-year-old daughter, Lavender, because he no longer felt safe remaining in Los Angeles after Gonzalez was released on bail.

The move comes days after Gonzalez was released from custody on a reported $2 million bond. Avery reportedly became increasingly concerned after her release, particularly because of the severity of the allegations and fears that she could attempt to flee.

Avery also reportedly cited safety concerns involving Gonzalez’s friends and relatives, alleging in court filings connected to a restraining order that individuals linked to her had previously shown up at his home and banged on his door.

A restraining order has since been granted, preventing contact from Gonzalez’s family, according to the report.

Avery first addressed the situation publicly last week after prosecutors announced criminal charges against Gonzalez, her father, Francisco Gonzalez, and Kai Cordrey. In a statement shared to Instagram, Avery said his focus was on protecting Lavender and rebuilding stability after years of legal battles and public scrutiny.

“Right now, my focus is on being the best father I can be,” Avery wrote. “I’m thankful to have sole custody of my daughter, Lavender, who is safe, healthy, and deeply loved.”

He also thanked supporters who “withheld judgment while the truth unfolded.”

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, the alleged plot dates back to 2020 and 2021 during a custody dispute involving Avery and Gonzalez. Prosecutors allege Gonzalez and Cordrey attempted to hire someone to kill Avery, while Francisco Gonzalez allegedly helped finance the plan.

Authorities say the investigation eventually involved an undercover FBI agent posing as a hitman. All three defendants have been charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and solicitation of murder, with each facing up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

The allegations also cast renewed attention on comments Avery made last year during an appearance on The Zach Sang Show, where he revealed he had been warned about threats against his life.

“I stayed in my house for like a month straight,” Avery said at the time. “I was so scared. I was looking out my window every night.”
