A parolee who murdered 81-year-old philanthropist Jacqueline Avant, the wife of legendary music executive Clarence Avant, has been sentenced to 190 years in a California prison
FILE - Jacqueline Avant, left, and Clarence Avant appear at the 11th Annual AAFCA Awards in Los Angeles on Jan. 22, 2020. A parolee who used an assault rifle to murder the 81-year-old philanthropist wife of legendary music executive Clarence Avant is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday, April 19, 2022, in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Maynor shot Jacqueline Avant when she surprised him after he broke into the couple's house during a burglary attempt in which he hoped to steal $50,000, prosecutors said. Less than an hour after fleeing the scene, he broke into a home in the Hollywood Hills and then accidentally shot himself in the foot as he was leaving.Avant used her money for charities that helped low-income neighborhoods such as Watts and South Los Angeles.
Maynor showed no remorse for the slaying, laughing with a friend on a recorded jail phone call about all the news stories about him, according to a court document filed by Deputy District Attorney Victor Avila.“I don't know, but that's not funny,” the woman, who was not identified, said."Why are you laughin'? That's somebody's life. That's somebody's family member.
“Today marks the end of a tragic case that rocked our community,” District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement. “Her murder sent shockwaves through our community, prompting fear, concern and a tremendous sense of loss.” A defense attorney argued unsuccessfully that some of Maynor's prior offenses not be considered “strikes.”
