"Francisco Gonzalez, his daughter, Gabriela, and Kai Cordrey were all charged Tuesday with conspiracy, attempted murder and solicitation to commit murder, according to court records made public late Tuesday morning. The target of the plot was Jack Avery, who was once a member of L.A.-based boy band Why Don't We, according to the two sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss an active criminal investigation."
"Gabriela Gonzalez, 25, was booked into a Los Angeles County jail Monday on suspicion of conspiracy, records show. Her father was arrested Monday in Florida, according to TMZ, which first broke details of the plot. Cordrey was expected to be arrested in Hawaii, and Gabriela Gonzalez will likely be arraigned in a downtown L.A. courtroom on Tuesday afternoon, one source said. Attorneys for the defendants were not yet listed in court records."
"Francisco and Gabriela Gonzalez were furious at Avery because of a child custody dispute, according to the sources. Avery and Gabriela Gonzalez have 7-year-old daughter. Cordrey married Gabriela after she split from Avery, though his role in the alleged crime was not clear. The sources did not explain how the alleged murder plot was supposed to work."
"One source said the FBI intercepted the scheme "years ago" and that Avery was not in danger. A spokeswoman for the FBI in Los Angel"
