Lady Gaga's Dogwalker Shot, 2 Dogs Dognapped

[wwkirk]

I'm not really familiar with her music, but this is pretty extraordinary. Fortunately, Ryan Fischer has survived. But who knew dognapping was really a thing!? The audio in the TMZ video of the actual incident is graphic.

Happy news, partially.

Excerpt
A woman brought the dogs into the LAPD's Olympic station in Koreatown on Friday night, police confirmed. The Associated Press first reported their return.

"The woman found the dogs and reached out to Lady Gaga’s staff to return them," the LAPD said in a statement. "The woman’s identity and the location the dogs were found will remain confidential due to the active criminal investigation and for her safety."

[Perps still at large, though.]

Dognappers May NOT Have Targeted Her

There's new evidence to suggest the 2 men who dognapped Lady Gaga's French bulldogs and shot her dog walker may not have even known they were her dogs ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement and other sources tell TMZ ... dog walker Ryan Fischer was not just taking a short walk around the block when he was ambushed ... we've learned ... just minutes before the attack he was at a store with the dogs 7 blocks away.

Ryan and the 3 dogs were at Almor Wine & Spirits at the intersection of Sunset Blvd. and Fairfax in Hollywood. As most of you know, Sunset Blvd. is heavily trafficked and well lit, and someone could have spotted Ryan and gotten a good look at the dogs ... to determine their breed.

TMZ.com

He then walked 4/10 of a mile ... where he was ambushed on a residential street. TMZ broke the story ... Ryan was shot and 2 dogs were stolen. They have since been recovered unharmed by a woman who saw them tied to a pole in an alley. Law enforcement believes Ryan walked for about 10 minutes before being ambushed.

There was an old lady..Proper gaga who used to strap her Jack Russell in a pram, put a bonnet on it and walk the streets all day showing it off like her new born, right around the time this black guy white faced every day in a pin stripe with his cross made of white gloss door frames dragged himself around the very same streets.

I miss them both.

Woman Who Found Lady Gaga's Kidnapped Dogs Still to Receive Her $500,000 Reward

The woman who found Lady Gaga’s kidnapped two French bulldogs has not been paid yet because cops have not yet cleared her of involvement in the crime. The Los Angeles Police Department advised the singer not to give the cash reward of $500,000 she offered until the cops determined that the finder had nothing to do with the dog-napping.

I can't find in the article how he will pay for his medical care, or whether Lady Gaga will assist him.

Did she get paid?...

At one level it probably makes sense to be very quiet about paying out either rewards or medical bills. I certainly hope they take care of this guy. How long is the investigation going to take on the woman who returned the dogs? Not exactly trying to figure out who Jack the Ripper was or anything. Not the crime of the century

 

[wwkirk]

Did she get paid?...

...

Apparently not.
"Our sources say … cops told Gaga NOT to pay the reward she offered unless, and until, they determine the finder had no involvement in the crime. We’re told cops don’t believe the woman was part of the dognapping, but they’re trying to figure out if she had any involvement after the fact."

I think it was in this thread that we mentioned the reward for Lady Gaga's dogs. Turns out the woman who returned them was part of it and has been arrested. No soup - or reward - for her.

Just three for the actual dognapping. The woman and her boyfriend were accessories after the fact.
