A day after a career criminal was arrested in the fatal shooting of philanthropist Jacqueline Avant at the lavish Beverly Hills home she shared with her husband Clarence, a 90-year-old music producer inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year, her family issued a statement that read in part, “Now, let justice be served.”.

The Avants — whose daughter Nicole is a former ambassador to the Bahamas and married to Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, had been living a comfortable life in their sprawling 4,000 square foot , $7 million home in the ritzy Trousdale Estates neighborhood for decades, friends said.

Wednesday when cops say career criminal Aariel Maynor broke into their home and fatally shot Jacqueline Avant, 81.

Clarence Avant was home but not hurt.

The couple also employed a security guard, who was shot at by the suspect but not hit or injured in any way, according to Beverly Hills Police Chief Mark Stainbrook.

The Avants hired the guard to protect them from a different type of L.A intruder — fans of the recent Netflix documentary about Avant called the “Black Godfather” who were dropping by the house uninvited, he said.

Maynor, who is currently hospitalized under armed guard, was in violation of parole at the time of his arrest and “it didn’t sound as if he was reporting to his parole agent at all,” Stainbrook said.

The 29-year-old was no stranger to the criminal justice system, records show.

The suspect then drove to a home in Hollywood where a father and his 17-year-old daughter were home, Stainbrook said.

The suspect allegedly took items from the house before shooting himself in the foot in the backyard which alerted someone to call the cops, Stainbrook added.

Many are blaming the recent statewide spike in crime, including a spate of looting, on the criminal justice reforms, including Proposition 47, a 2014 law that is intended to keep non violent criminals out of crowded prisons and treat low level criminals with more compassion.

“You can essentially walk into a store here, take up to $1000 in items, walk out, get a ticket and get released,” Stainbrook said.

The Avant home invasion is far from an isolated incident in LA’s wealthy show-biz enclaves.

“It’s a bigger target,” McBride said

“People get followed home and then they get robbed,” McBride told The Post
