Francisco Javier Gonzales was arrested in Seminole County, Florida, on a California fugitive warrant and is being held for extradition in a 2020 alleged plot targeting singer Jack Avery.
Los Angeles prosecutors say Gonzales and his daughter, influencer Gabriela Gonzalez, conspired to kill Avery during a custody dispute tied to her breakup with the singer.
Both face attempted murder and conspiracy charges; Gabriela Gonzalez was arrested the same day in California and is being held without bail.
If convicted, the pair could face 25 years to life in prison after what prosecutors described as a long-running, multistate investigation that remains active.
