Five people were arrested Thursday in the shooting of singer Lady Gaga‘s dog walker Ryan Fischer and in the related dognapping of the singer’s two French Bulldogs, Koji and Gustav.
That’s according to a news release by the Los Angeles Police Department.

James Jackson (age 18), Jaylin White (age 19), and Lafayette Whaley (age 27) are all accused of attempted murder and robbery. Harold White (age 40) and Jennifer McBride (age 50) are both accused of being accessories to attempted murder.

“The investigation revealed that James Jackson, Jaylin White, and Lafayette Whaley were involved in the robbery and shooting of the victim,” the police news release said. “Detectives do not believe the suspects were targeting the victim because of the dogs’ owner.
However, evidence suggests the suspects knew the great value of the breed of dogs and was the motivation for the robbery.”

1. AHA! So the lady that found them was part of it.

“Harold White and Jennifer McBride were determined to be accessories after the initial crime,” it continues. “McBride reported that she found the dogs and responded to the reward email to return the dogs. She ultimately brought the dogs to LAPD Olympic Station. Detectives were able to establish McBride had a relationship with the father of one of the suspects, Harold White.”

2. Yup. What a couple of dirty low lifes.

They went to collect the reward after stealing the dogs & finding out who they belonged to!

Guess they didn't think GaGa would have the finest & most intense detectives in the world on this case.
What mean people.!
Hope none of the 5 are freed for a long time.

Glad for Lady G and her pups, all together & home safe.

5. Not a surprise at all.

I saw so many post that she was uncaring for offering a reward for the dogs. Obviously, the police knew what they were doing.

4. I heard they were part of some gang

don't know if it was a dog theft ring type gang or an "ordinary" type gang ( Los Angeles had lots of those).

6. Yeah, article says they were part of an "established LA gang."

Looking for an easy way to get money. And they fell for the ‘reward.’ Criminals aren’t smart, but these idiots seem especially dense.
