New details have come to light regarding the shooting of Lady Gaga's dog walker and the theft of two of her French bulldogs.
In a video obtained by TMZ, it appears the whole horrifying ordeal was caught by a neighbor's surveillance video. The disturbing and graphic video first shows a man walking dogs on the sidewalk.
Then, a light-colored four-door sedan pulls up alongside the man before two people get out of the backseat and a struggle ensues. One of the men is heard yelling, "Give it up."
The dog walker tries to fight back as the dogs are being grabbed -- one dog is able to get away -- while the assailants snatch the two other animals.

Then, a loud gunshot is heard and the dog walker falls to the ground screaming he's been shot as the car drives away.
A rep for Gaga confirmed to People magazine that the footage is of the theft and it was taken by a neighbor. According to TMZ, Gaga's team "wanted" the surveillance video "to be seen to catch the shooter and recover her dogs."

The attack occurred late Wednesday night as Gaga's dog walker, who is "a friend" of the family, was caring for the Oscar winner's three dogs. Lady Gaga has since offered $500,000 for the return of her dogs, Koji and Gustave, no questions asked.
Those with information on the case should email KojiandGustav@gmail.com, the singer's rep told People.
