LAPD releases suspect information, asks for public's help in solving Lady Gaga dog-abduction case
  • Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot and two of her dogs were stolen Wednesday.
  • The LAPD has released suspect descriptions from the incident and is asking for the public's help.
  • Lady Gaga's dog walker is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery.

The Los Angeles Police Department is asking for the public's help in providing any information that could help lead to the identification and arrest of the two suspects accused of shooting Lady Gaga's dog walker and stealing two of her French Bulldogs in a violent street robbery Wednesday night.

The LAPD released more information about the incident in a Friday press release.

At around 9:40 p.m. on February 24, Lady Gaga's dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was walking three French Bulldogs in the area of Sierra Bonita Avenue and Sunset Blvd, when the suspects approached Fischer in a white Nissan Altima four door, according to the press release.

The two suspects got out of the car and demanded Fischer give them the dogs while holding him at gunpoint.

"The victim struggled with the suspects and was shot once by one of the suspects," the release said.

The suspects then took two of the three bulldogs and left in the white Nissan Altima.

LAPD described the first suspect as a Black male between 20 and 25 with blond dreadlocks. He was reportedly wearing a black hoodie and was armed with a semi-automatic handgun.

The second suspect is described as a Black male also between 20 and 25 wearing dark clothing, the LAPD said.

The press release said Fischer was in stable condition and confirmed that Lady Gaga was the owner of the stolen dogs.

Fischer's family released a statement Friday saying they expect him to make a full recovery, according to Rolling Stone.

"Thankfully, Ryan is receiving extraordinary care in the hospital right now and his doctors expect him to make a full recovery," the Fischer family said in a statement seen by Rolling Stone. "We cannot possibly say enough to thank all of the first responders, nurses and doctors who have worked so tirelessly to care for Ryan."

His family also thanked Lady Gaga in the statement, saying she had shown "nothing but non-stop love and concern for Ryan," and pleaded for the safe return of Gustavo and Koji, Lady Gaga's stolen bulldogs.

Gaga is offering a $500,000 reward for any information about the dogs that leads to their recovery.

LAPD urged anyone who has photos or video of the incident to send them to SAFELATIPS@lapd.online.
