Clarence Avant's Daughter Hires Armed Security After Mom Jacqueline's Shooting Murder During Home Invasion
Dec. 2 2021, Published 8:20 p.m. ET
Clarence Avant's daughter is taking extra precautions after her mother Jacqueline's gruesome murder.
RadarOnline.com has obtained photos of an armed guard outside of Nicole Avant's home. In the pictures, a man in all black is seen wearing his sunglasses and appears on high alert.
Holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, the security appeared to be alone outside of her large gate in the ritzy Los Angeles community — at least for now.
Nicole's paranoia is extremely valid considering what her family just went through. As RadarOnline.com reported, Jacqueline was shot at her multimillion residence that she shared with her music legend husband during a home invasion around 2:30 AM on Wednesday.
Jacqueline — known for her big heart and charity services — lived in the upscale Trousdale Estates, a low-crime neighborhood right outside of Beverly Hills, CA.
