Police have arrested a 29-year-old Los Angeles man on suspicion of fatally shooting Jacqueline Avant, the wife of legendary music executive Clarence Avant, after he shot himself in the foot during another home burglary.
Police caught Maynor at the site of another home burglary in Hollywood Hills where he had shot himself in his foot with what is thought to be the same AR-15 he used to kill Avant.
Maynor has an extensive criminal record dating back to 2013 and has served time for robbery and grand theft, TMZ reported.
Maynor was on parole at the time of the alleged homicide for a domestic violence case.
He was arrested by LAPD officers and taken to a hospital where he remains in custody.
Police say Maynor is currently their only suspect and his motive for the alleged homicide remains under investigation.
The 81-year-old philanthropist whose daughter Nicole is married to Ted Sarandos, Netflix co-CEO and chief content officer, was shot dead early Wednesday morning in her $7 million Beverly Hills mansion despite a security guard being on the property.
Police said Clarence and a security guard were home at the time of the attack but not harmed.
Neighbors of the Avants were so worried by the recent rise in burglaries in the neighborhood that they hired armed guards a week before the music executive's wife was killed.
Residents of Trousdale Estate in Beverly Hills told TMZ that just last week, several neighbors got together and hired a private security firm in response to a recent spike in home and car burglaries in the area.
The neighbors were so afraid, they say they pooled money and hired a security company, but they had not started patrols yet before Wednesday's tragic shooting.

“Suspect, 29, arrested for shooting dead Clarence Avant’s wife”
Why would they shoot a dead person?
“I wonder if Clarence or his wife ever voted Democrat?”
Yes. Very involved in Democratic politics, friends of the Clintons. So was the son-in-law.

If that’s the case, why were over 38% of black babies ABORTED nation wide in 2019 and a whopping 62% just in Georgia?
Californians pay the highest taxes in the entire nation, yet they have to hire private security guards to keep them safe in their neighborhoods.
I thought that Hollywood liberals and leftists were against vigilantism?!
Regards,
Trousdale Estates is the “Beverly Hills” to Beverly Hills.

Journalists! Bah; HUMBUG!! Can’t just say, “Killed...”. Even hyphenating would have made it unambiguous.

Wonder if they’ve got the right perp.
And if they don’t, if it’s because they’re cool with that.
No; the original needed an editor.
