Police offer €5,000 reward for man accused of shooting Lady Gaga's dogwalker

The US Marshals Service has offered a reward of €5,000 for information leading to the arrest of a man involved in the attempted murder of Lady Gaga's dogwalker.

James Howard Jackson, 19, is also one of three men charged with stealing two of the popstar's French bulldogs in February 2021.

He is being sought by authorities after he was released from custody on April 6, 2022, following a clerical error.

Jackson is alleged to have shot dog walker Ryan Fischer with a .40-caliber handgun while he was out walking Lady Gaga's dogs in Los Angeles.

Mr Fischer sustained a gunshot wound to his chest and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in LA.

Following the shooting, two of Gaga's pets were stolen by the attackers.

Police arrested five people in April 2021 in connection with the attack, two of whom were charged as accessories.

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Major Crime Team has requested the US Marshals Service's assistance in finding and arresting Jackson.

The US Marshals said Jackson should be considered as "armed and dangerous" and urged anyone with information on his whereabouts to report it to the police immediately.
