## Court Appearance
Singer Jack Avery and TikTok influencer Gabbie Gonzalez appeared in court as another ex-boyfriend testified against her.
## Dark-Web Plot Alleged
Gonzalez allegedly conspired with her father and ex-boyfriend Kai Cordrey to hire a cryptocurrency hitman to kill Avery.
## FBI Raid Details
Cody Clayburn testified that FBI agents raided Gonzalez’s Hawaii home in November 2022, seizing devices after he discovered her alleged murder plot.
## Gonzalez’s Testimony
Gonzalez sat 10 feet from Avery in court, wearing a lavender blazer and light purple T-shirt, but invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
## Charges and Plea
Gonzalez, her father, and Cordrey face three counts of conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, and solicitation to commit murder, each pleading not guilty.
## Child Custody Battle
The hearing determines if Avery can extend his domestic violence restraining order against Gonzalez and if she can see their seven-year-old daughter via video calls.
## Custody Disputes
Gonzalez allegedly manipulated Covid-19 test results and text chains to interfere with Avery’s visitation and turned down phone volume during FaceTime calls.
## Family Tensions
Gonzalez’s mother testified she saw Gonzalez lower phone volume during calls with Avery’s daughter and transport the child without a car seat.
## Cordrey’s Role
Cordrey allegedly received $10,000 from Gonzalez’s father in April 2021 to find a hitman, using a Gemini cryptocurrency account to pay.
## Dark Web Payments
Cordrey allegedly communicated with a dark web murder-for-hire account under the alias 'LizardKing69' and demanded another $4,000 on June 4, 2021.
## Undercover Agent
Prosecutors say Cordrey discussed payment and proof of death with an undercover FBI agent in September 2021, after Gonzalez allegedly wanted Avery killed.
## Legal Defense
Gonzalez’s lawyer claims she played a limited role in the alleged plot, with Cordrey handling the 'primary operational aspects' and prosecutors lacking direct evidence.
## Prosecution Claim
Prosecutors allege Gonzalez, her father, and Cordrey viewed Avery as 'the obstacle to their desired control' over their daughter and escalated to a funded murder-for-hire plot.
## Key takeaway

TikTok influencer Gabbie Gonzalez faces murder conspiracy charges after allegedly plotting to hire a hitman on the dark web to kill singer Jack Avery.
