The man who shot Lady Gaga’s dog walker and stole her French bulldogs last year has been sentenced to over two decades behind bars.

James Howard Jackson accepted a plea deal on Monday, per the Associated Press, and will spend the next 21 years in prison in Los Angeles County.

According to the LA County District Attorney’s Office, Jackson pleaded no contest to one count of attempted murder but admitted the allegation of inflicting great bodily injury and to a prior strike. He had been charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit a robbery and assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

“The plea agreement holds Mr. Jackson accountable for perpetrating a coldhearted violent act and provides justice for our victim,” the DA’s office said in a statement.

Jackson was one of five people — three men and two accomplices — who participated in the violent robbery and its aftermath.

Authorities say the perpetrators did not specifically target Lady Gaga, as they did not know the dogs belonged to the musician. They believe the group’s motive was the value of the French bulldogs, a breed that can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
