Former Why Don’t We member Jack Avery has publicly responded after his former partner, social media influencer Gabbie Gonzalez, was charged in California in connection with an alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy targeting him. Prosecutors also charged Gonzalez’s father, Francisco Gonzalez, and surf instructor Kai Cordrey with conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and solicitation to commit murder. According to investigators, the alleged plot emerged during a prolonged custody dispute involving Avery and Gonzalez over their daughter, Lavender. Court documents reportedly claim that Francisco Gonzalez became heavily involved in the legal battle and sought ways to discredit or remove Avery from the family situation. Witnesses told investigators that he made hostile remarks suggesting it would be less expensive if Avery were dead. Authorities allege that Gabbie Gonzalez portrayed Avery as an unsafe parent during custody proceedings and discussed having him killed. Prosecutors further claim that Gonzalez and Cordrey explored using the dark web and Bitcoin to hire a hitman and considered staging Avery’s death to resemble a car accident. In a social media statement, Avery said that he and his family had endured years of public scrutiny and false accusations but that he had stayed silent to protect his daughter and respect the legal process. He added that his main priority is being the best father possible and confirmed that he currently has sole custody of Lavender. Avery also thanked law enforcement officials, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, friends and supporters for their assistance. Why Don’t We, the American boyband formed in 2016, went on hiatus in 2022 following legal disputes with former management and later lost the rights to the group’s name.

Gabbie Gonzalez, a 24-year-old TikTok influencer known for content on travel, lifestyle and motherhood, has been arrested in Northern California for allegedly attempting to hire a hitman via the dark web to kill her former partner, Jack Avery, ex-singer of the boyband Why Don’t We. The arrest follows claims that the plot emerged from a prolonged custody and visitation dispute over their shared child. Gonzalez, her father Francisco Gonzalez, a Miami-based lawyer, and a Hawaii surf instructor, Kai Cordrey, were all charged in connection with the alleged scheme. Court documents reveal that the father allegedly suggested it would be cheaper if Avery were dead and became actively involved in attempting to discredit and remove him from custody proceedings. Financial records indicate a $10,000 payment to Cordrey, disguised as payment for web development, though no work occurred. Federal agents involved an undercover officer posing as a hitman, with Francisco allegedly discussing payments in code. Jack Avery has previously stated that the FBI warned him in September 2025 of threats against his life, relating to the custody conflict. The accused remain in custody, with Gonzalez being held without bond. The incident has drawn attention to the intersection of social media influence, family disputes, and serious criminal allegations.
