EXPLAINING THE DROP-IN

Federal agents tore through Gabbie Gonzalez's home to search phones, SD cards, and Apple devices during an raid connected to the alleged murder-for-hire plot to kill Jack Avery ... and TMZ has obtained video and documents from the operation.

The footage of the November 2022 raid shows Gonzalez's then-husband Cody Clayburn outside the home talking to FBI agents, who explained why they were there. You can hear Cody express concern about whether Gabbie -- who was inside the house -- was okay.

According to the documents, obtained by TMZ, agents seized 12 items during the operation ... including a MacBook, several iPhones, SD cards and thumb drives ... suggesting investigators were aggressively hunting for potential digital evidence.

YUNGBLUD Camp To MGK He's Too Busy Focused on Sold Out American Tour

Published | Updated

YUNGBLUD's team is firing back after Machine Gun Kelly savagely blasted the singer in an alleged viral social media comment taking aim at his ill-fated tour.

Here's the deal ... the drama started after YUNGBLUD posted a video saying "live music has become inaccessible," part of his push for cheaper fan experiences through projects like BLUDFEST.

MGK responded with a blistering, alleged since-deleted comment accusing YUNGBLUD of canceling a tour because he "couldn’t sell tickets" while publicly blaming mental health struggles. He also mocked YUNGBLUD's ticket prices before ending the tirade with a profanity laced insult, calling him a "silver spooned preachy wanker."

Now, a rep for YUNGBLUD tells TMZ ... "Dom has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album."

The rep adds ... "He genuinely hasn’t got time to engage in any of this but we wish MGK the very best."

The clash is especially shocking considering MGK and YUNGBLUD were once practically inseparable during the pop-punk revival era ... constantly collaborating, appearing together and running in the same Travis Barker circle.

Fans have suspected tension for years after the two noticeably stopped publicly interacting and now they're embroiled in a full-blown war of words.

Police discovered the bodies after a welfare check ... and the family says the children's babysitter got the ball rolling on that front after going to school to pick up Max and Maya and discovering they never arrived.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The family says no one entered the home before cops got there and founded the grisly scene ... and they turned over all footage from security cameras mounted inside the home to police.

Matthew and Ty owned two restaurants, Traveler's Table and Traveler's Cart, and the family say the businesses will continue normal operations.

Traveler's Table was showcased on Guy Fieri's Food Network show, “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” in 2021 ... with Matthew and Thy posing for a photo with the famous TV host.
