WATCH LIVE: The Beverly Hills Police Department is having a press conference regarding the case.
Police say the suspect is 29-year-old Aariel Maynor, and he was captured partly because he literally shot himself in the foot.
Cops say several surveillance cameras captured Maynor's vehicle fleeing eastbound from Beverly Hills Wednesday morning after Jacqueline was shot. About an hour later, a shooting was reported in the Hollywood Hills, near the Griffith Observatory. LAPD responded and found Maynor in a backyard suffering from a gunshot wound in his foot -- and determined he'd shot himself while allegedly burglarizing that home. He was arrested, and Beverly Hills PD worked with LAPD, and say they collected evidence connecting Maynor to the home invasion of the Avant's home.
BHPD says Maynor is the sole suspect in Jacqueline's death, and he was armed with an AR-15 during the break-in. We've learned he has an extensive criminal record dating back to 2013, and has done time for robbery and grand theft. He also got probation for a domestic violence case.JacquelineFamily sources with direct knowledge tell us a man has been arrested in connection to the murder.
