Note: The video in the media player above is from a previous report. James Howard Jackson, 18, was released from prison on Wednesday afternoon, according to detention records, which also show that the charges against him were dropped. Details of how the charges against Jackson were dropped and exactly how he was mistakenly released, but police say the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is now looking for him. Jackson is one of three men charged last year with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit robbery and second-degree robbery for the shooting of Lady Gaga’s dog walker Ryan Fisher, according to the Los Angeles County Attorney’s Office.

Fisher was walking with Lady Gaga’s three dogs – named Asia, Koji and Gustav – in Hollywood last February just outside the famous Sunset Boulevard when he was attacked. Video from the camera of the bell of a nearby house shows a white sedan getting up and two men jumping out. They fought with Fischer and one of them pulled out a gun and fired a single shot before fleeing with two of the dogs, Koji and Gustav.
