TikTok influencer arrested in Humboldt County in alleged murder plot
Gabbie Gonzalez was arrested at McKinleyville’s airport on a Los Angeles murder-conspiracy warrant tied to a custody fight involving singer Jack Avery.
A TikTok influencer was taken into custody at the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport in McKinleyville, turning a Los Angeles County murder-conspiracy case into a brief but very local Humboldt County arrest.
Authorities identified the woman as Gabbie Gonzalez, also named in records as Gabriela Gonzalez and Gabriela Lauren Gonzalez, 24. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office said she was arrested at ACV on May 15 without incident and later transferred from Humboldt County to Los Angeles County custody, where prosecutors say the case belongs.
The arrest was not tied to a Humboldt crime. It was the local execution of an out-of-area warrant in a case Los Angeles County prosecutors say stems from a yearslong custody dispute involving singer Jack Avery, formerly of Why Don’t We, and the couple’s 7-year-old daughter. Along with Gonzalez, prosecutors charged her father, Francisco Gonzalez, 59, and her former boyfriend, Kai Faron Cordrey, 26, with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and solicitation of murder.
Court documents describe an alleged plot that stretched across several states and included dark web communications and cryptocurrency payments. Prosecutors say the plan at one point discussed making the killing look like a car accident. They also allege Francisco Gonzalez supplied $10,000 in April 2021 and another $4,000 two months later as funding for the scheme.
The case drew wider attention after a September 2025 appearance on the Zach Sang Show, where Avery said the FBI had warned him someone had threatened to kill him, though he did not identify suspects publicly at the time.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman’s office said the case was filed under 26CJCF03024, and court filings recommended $2 million bail for each defendant. The charges carry substantial prison exposure if the defendants are convicted.
For Humboldt County, the direct public-safety impact was limited to the arrest itself at the airport. The case’s substance, prosecutors say, was centered hundreds of miles south in Los Angeles County, where the alleged conspiracy, the custody conflict and the criminal allegations are now playing out in court.
