At this point, the LAPD does not know if the suspects knew who owned the two French bulldogs they kidnapped.
Two dogs belonging to Lady Gaga were stolen on Wednesday evening in the heart of Hollywood, and the dog-sitter who was walking them was seriously injured by gunshot as he tried to resist.
On Thursday evening, Los Angeles police said he was in "stable" condition.
In the morning, the singer, who is currently in Italy, offered a reward of $ 500,000 for the return of Koji and Gustav (middle and right in the photo below).

Very popular, this breed of dog comes at a high price in Los Angeles: at a breeder, it takes between 3,000 and 9,000 dollars for a puppy.
It is therefore possible that the "dognappers" targeted the dogs, and not the star.

The

newspaper
and the TMZ celebrity website published a video captured by a neighbor's surveillance camera.
The dog-walker walks the star's three dogs, on a leash, when two men get out of a white Nissan in a residential Hollywood neighborhood.
Immediately, they try to catch two dogs, one each.
The victim tries to resist and screams.
It was then that one of the suspects pulled out a semi-automatic pistol and fired, then the two men fled behind the wheel of the Nissan.
The singer's third dog, Miss Asia is then recovered by the police who arrived on site.
According to TMZ, Lady Gaga offered a reward of half a million dollars "no questions asked" to have her Frenchies returned to her safe and sound.
