Gunfire Erupts at Ex-NHL Star Sean Avery's Home
3 Jun
Summary
- Gunshots struck a contractor's vehicle at Sean Avery's home.
- A neighbor was taken into custody following the incident.
- The shooting occurred after a prior harassment complaint against the neighbor.
Gunfire erupted at the Hollywood Hills residence of former NHL player Sean Avery and model Hilary Rhoda on Tuesday afternoon. A contractor working at the property reported that his vehicle was struck by a bullet. Los Angeles police responded to the scene and took a neighbor into custody shortly before 5 PM.
Law enforcement sources indicated that the individual arrested was the same neighbor against whom the contractor had filed a harassment complaint earlier that morning. Officers had responded to the initial call around 10 AM but found no immediate evidence of threats. The situation escalated hours later when shots were fired.
Neither Sean Avery nor Hilary Rhoda were present at their home during the time of the shooting. The couple, who married in 2015 and have a five-year-old son, have navigated a complex personal history, including a divorce filing in July 2022 and a restraining order. Avery had recently sought to terminate the restraining order, asserting reconciliation.
The investigation into the exact sequence of events leading to the gunfire is continuing. No injuries have been reported in connection with the incident.
