On Wednesday in Los Angeles, a man who participated in the kidnapping of Lady Gaga’s dogs last year was sentenced to four years in prison, France Presse reports. A young man and two other men shot an employee of the star when he was walking his four-legged French bulldog, news.ro notes.

Jaylin Keyshawn White, 20, pleaded guilty to theft after admitting he was part of a group that shot and killed Ryan Fisher while he was walking his three French bulldogs in Hollywood in February 2021.

Surveillance images show two men getting out of a car next to the singer’s employee before shooting him in the chest.

The people took the two dogs, Koji and Gustav, and fled, leaving Ryan Fisher unconscious with serious injuries.

The third dog, Miss Asia, ran away but returned and curled up near the walk.

Lady Gaga offered a generous reward

Lady Gaga, known for the songs “Poker Face” or “Bad Romance”, offered a reward of 500 thousand dollars for her precious dogs.

The woman returned them, saying she found them tied to a pole before they were apprehended.

According to the police, she had a relationship with the father of one of the aggressors and was tasked with receiving the reward on their behalf.

The three suspects were charged with attempted murder and robbery in April 2021.

The attacker was mistakenly released

One of them, the perpetrator of the attack, was mistakenly released in April due to an administrative error. Since then, authorities have been searching for James Howard Jackson and are offering a reward of up to $5,000 for any information leading to his arrest.

This incident popularized this dog breed beloved by celebrities. For criminals, their size and high price make them prime targets for resale on the black market.

Lady Gaga is very attached to her dogs, who often accompany her at public events and with whom she publishes photos on social networks.
