More details are coming out after Gabbie Gonzalez‘s arrest over a shocking alleged murder-for-hire plot against her baby daddy!
As we previously reported this week, the 24-year-old influencer was arrested, along with her father, Francisco Gonzalez, and friend, Kai Cordrey, after she allegedly tried to hire a hitman to kill former Why Don’t We member, Jack Avery. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told People on Friday that Gabbie and her dad officially have been charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and solicitation of murder. Cordrey faces the same charges.

The DA explained the charges stem from what police claim is a custody dispute between Gabbie and Jack over their 7-year-old daughter, Lavender:
“Between 2020 and 2021, she is accused of seeking the assistance of her then-boyfriend [Kai] Cordrey to hire someone on the dark web to kill Avery. In April 2021, Gonzalez’s father, Francisco Gonzalez, allegedly sent $10,000 to Cordrey as front money to use in locating, hiring and paying someone to kill Avery.”
We knew all that! But what we didn’t know? Prosecutors now say Cordrey asked any prospective killer to prove that Jack died — by giving Gabbie his severed finger! OMG! The DA’s office told People:
“Kai Cordrey asked the hitman to send him Jack’s finger with his jewelry still on it as proof of death.”
The case keeps getting more and more twisted as the deets come out! That is horrible!
This information comes as Gabbie was released from custody after 4:00 p.m. on Friday after posting a $2 million bail, according to TMZ. However, the TikToker’s release has conditions. The judge reportedly ordered Gabbie to wear a GPS monitor and to stay away from Jack and Lavender. Remember, he obtained a temporary restraining order and got custody of the child following the social media personality’s arrest.
However, prosecutors further asked the judge not to allow any of her family members to contact the child, claiming they could try to exert control over her. Jack previously alleged her loved ones haven’t stopped contacting him about Lavender’s whereabouts, and that the influencer’s friends even went as far as to come to his home. Oof! In addition, the judge said Gabbie cannot post anything about the criminal case on social media.
Gabbie waived her plea until July 23 during her arraignment, but her mom, Lisa, insisted to TMZ outside of the courthouse on Friday that her daughter is innocent. Hmm. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know int he comments.
