Man Who Shot Lady Gaga Dog Walker Sentenced To 21 Years

Authorities said Jackson and two others, Jaylin White and Lafayette Whaley, stole the dogs named Koji and Gustav because of the breed’s high resale value, not because they knew the animals belonged to the performer. When Fischer refused to turn over the dogs and fought back, Jackson shot him in the chest, seriously wounding him.

Gaga subsequently offered a $500,000 reward for her pets’ return, prompting a woman named Jennifer McBride to come forward and claim she had found the dogs. But she was later discovered to be dating White’s father, Harold. The pair were charged with being accessories after the fact.
