Police in Los Angeles have arrested a woman accused of firing multiple gunshots at the home of singer Rihanna on Sunday afternoon.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the suspect—identified as 35-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz—was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of attempted murder. Bail has been set at $10.225 million.
Officers responded around 1:15 p.m. to reports of gunfire at the singer’s residence in the Beverly Crest neighborhood near Beverly Hills. Investigators believe Ortiz stopped her vehicle outside the property and fired several rounds—reportedly between five and seven shots—from what police described as an AR-style rifle. Some of the bullets struck the home’s front gate, a wall, and a vehicle parked outside, though none penetrated the interior of the house. Authorities recovered seven “assault rifle casings” at the scene. No injuries were reported.
Police tracked the suspect’s white Tesla with the help of a helicopter. The vehicle was followed roughly eight miles away to the Sherman Oaks Galleria, where officers pulled Ortiz over and arrested her in a parking garage. LAPD spokesperson Armen Arias said, “When they pulled her over and took her into custody, they searched the vehicle and located an assault rifle and seven casings.”
According to law-enforcement sources Rihanna—whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty—was inside the house along with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, and their children at the time of the incident.
A motive for the shooting has not yet been determined, and the investigation remains ongoing.
