A social media influencer, her father, and her former boyfriend have been charged in Los Angeles County in connection with an alleged murder-for-hire plot targeting former Why Don’t We member Jack Avery.

Los Angeles County prosecutors allege the conspiracy unfolded between 2020 and 2021 and centered on efforts to hire a hitman through the dark web to kill Avery, who shares a 7-year-old daughter with influencer Gabriela Lauren Gonzalez.
