A second man accused of stealing two French bulldogs from Lady Gaga, in an episode during which the dog walker (Lady Gaga’s dogs) was shot, was sentenced Thursday in the United States after admitting his participation in the act.
Lafayette Shon Whaley, 28, was sentenced to six years in prison for second-degree theft of two of the singer’s three French bulldogs in 2021.
Whaley was part of a gang that shot dog walker Ryan Fischer while he was exercising the three award-winning pets in Hollywood in February 2021.
Fischer was shot in the chest and said on Instagram a month later that he had suffered a collapsed lung.
The “Poker Face” singer offered a $500,000 reward for the return of the dogs (Lady Gaga’s dogs).
Whaley’s conviction came a week after his accomplice Jaylin Keyshawn was jailed and alleged shooter James Howard Jackson was recaptured.
Jackson had been released due to a “clerical error,” according to authorities. He is charged with attempted murder, second-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, and assault with a semi-automatic firearm, among other crimes.
The woman who police said she turned over the dogs to collect the offered reward was charged with complicity and receiving stolen property.
A second defendant was convicted of kidnapping Lady Gaga’s dogs
Los Angeles police said the dogs (Lady Gaga’s dogs) had been stolen for their value on the black market and not because they belonged to the famous singer.
Their relative scarcity and their association with stars such as Lady Gaga, Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Jackman, Chrissy Teigen, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Madonna, give them additional prestige and high value.
