A TikTok influencer has been arrested in California and charged with conspiracy to commit murder in a plot targeting a boy band singer who is the father of her daughter.

The woman, along with her father and a former boyfriend, allegedly attempted to hire someone to kill Jack Avery, a member of a popular boy band with whom she shares a child. All three individuals have been charged in connection with the murder-for-hire scheme.

The arrests took place this week in California, where authorities say they uncovered evidence of the conspiracy. The case involves the intersection of social media fame and domestic disputes, as the influencer had previously been in a relationship with the targeted singer.

Details about how the alleged plot was discovered or the specific timeline of events have not been released by law enforcement. The investigation appears to be ongoing as authorities work to determine the full scope of the conspiracy.

The charges represent a serious escalation of what may have begun as a custody or relationship dispute between the social media personality and the boy band member. Murder-for-hire charges typically carry severe penalties under California law.
