Federal authorities are offering a US$5,000 reward for information about the man who allegedly shot Lady Gaga's dog walker last year in Hollywood and stole two of the pop star's French bulldogs. He was mistakenly released from custody in April and remains missing.
James Howard Jackson, 19, was one of five people arrested in connection the violent robbery in February 2021. He was facing an attempted murder charge when he was released from Los Angeles County's jail “due to a clerical error.”
U.S. Marshals, in a statement Monday, said Jackson should be considered armed and dangerous. The reward is for information that leads to his arrest. Authorities previously said Jackson is a documented gang member but have not provided additional information.The dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was with Lady Gaga's three dogs - named Asia, Koji and Gustav - in Hollywood just off the famed Sunset Boulevard when he was attacked.
Fischer - who was shot once in the chest with a bullet from a .40-caliber handgun - previously called the violence “a very close call with death” in social media posts. In April, prosecutors filed a superseding indictment charging Jackson - who was already in custody - with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit a robbery and assault with a semiautomatic firearm.
