The video with went around the world. In February 2021, three men got out of a car in Hollywood and attacked Ryan Fischer, star Lady Gaga’s dog walker. The artist’s employee was shot in the chest and the attackers left with two of the three French bulldogs, leaving the victim bleeding on the floor. The last animal had managed to escape and join Ryan Fischer.
The singer had then promised a reward of 500,000 dollars to recover them and a few days later a woman had brought back the two canines found tied to a post. Quickly arrested, she actually had a relationship with the father of one of the attackers and would have been responsible for recovering the reward, according to the police.
More than a year after the events, 20-year-old Jaylin Keyshawn White pleaded guilty to theft and admitted to having participated in the attack on the employee of the Judas interpreter. He was sentenced to four years in prison on Wednesday for his actions in Los Angeles. The author of the shooting James Howard Jackson is still actively sought by the authorities who promise a reward of 5,000 dollars for any information leading to his capture. Charged with attempted murder and theft in 2021 with his three accomplices, he was released last April following an administrative error.
The case highlights the trafficking of purebred dogs in the United States. French bulldogs, due to their small size, are prime targets for thieves because they can easily be resold on the black market.
