Five people have been arrested in connection with the shooting of Lady Gaga’s dog walker, according to California police.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to NBC News that five people were arrested, four of whom were allegedly known gang members from Los Angeles. They have been charged with attempted murder.
The pop star’s two French bulldogs were dognapped from a Los Angeles street in February; Gaga offered a half million dollar reward for their return, and her dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was shot and injured during the theft. Fischer did not immediately respond to a NBC News request for comment.
“Detectives do not believe the suspects were targeting the victim because of the dogs’ owner,” the LAPD said in a press release. “However, evidence suggests the suspects knew the great value of the breed of dogs and was the motivation for the robbery.”
Gaga was reunited with the dogs, who were returned by a woman to police shortly afterward. The woman was one of those arrested.
