Merely two years after Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot and almost killed, her fashion designer's death has been deemed a murder, leading the "Rain on Me" singer to believe she may be cursed.

"Gaga must be wondering if a dark cloud of evil is hanging over her," shares a close friend, cited tabloid National Enquirer. Katie Gallagher, 35, a renowned designer who dressed celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Rita Ora, and Kourtney Kardashian, died under mysterious circumstances in her Manhattan apartment last year, and authorities have now labeled it a homicide.

"Gaga can't believe another of her trusted people has been attacked," divulges an insider. After a year-long investigation, the police declared Gallagher's death a homicide on March 24, following the medical examiner's determination that she died from acute intoxication caused by a mix of fentanyl, ethanol, and the designer opioid p-Fluorofentanyl.

New York Police Department (NYPD) investigators believe Gallagher was targeted by a sinister group responsible for at least 26 recent "drug-facilitated" thefts. One person of interest is Kenwood Allen, 33, who was arrested in December for the overdose robbery deaths of two clubgoers in the same area. Allen, who has not been charged in Gallagher's case, is thought to be part of a ruthless gang that drugs clubgoers and robs them while they are incapacitated.

Lady Gaga's dog walker, Ryan Fischer, nearly lost his life to gunshot wounds while walking the singer's beloved dogs on February 24, 2021. The shooter, James Howard Jackson, received a 21-year prison sentence after pleading guilty.

Lady Gaga hopes for a resolution to this mystery and prays that nothing similar occurs in the future. A source reveals, "Gaga is praying this mystery is solved and nothing like it ever happens again!" This recent tragedy has undoubtedly cast a shadow over the singer, raising concerns about her well-being and the safety of those close to her.
