Jacqueline Avant, the wife of Clarence Avant, the US music executive, has been shot dead in their Beverly Hills home.
The Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) made this known in a statement on Wednesday.
The 81-year-old philanthropist was fatally killed by multiple gunshots during a robbery attempt at Avant’s home in Maytor Place.
Beverly Hills police chief, Mark Stainbrook, said the unit was informed of a shooting at Avant’s home at about 2:23 am and afterwards deployed its officials to the scene.

Stainbrook said an investigation has begun into the incident while assuring that those behind the attack would be prosecuted.

“This is a difficult day for our City. First and foremost, on behalf of our entire department, our City Council and community, I wish to extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s family in this case,” he said.
“The Police Department is in contact with the Avant family to offer support and resources they may need. Beverly Hills Police Detectives remain on-scene conducting an investigation.
