Woman Charged With Attempted Murder After Gunshots Fired At Rihanna’s Los Angeles Mansion
Woman charged with attempted murder after gunshots fired at Rihanna’s Los Angeles mansion A 35‑year‑old woman has been arrested and charged with attempted murder after allegedly firing multiple rounds from an AR‑15‑style rifle at the Beverly Hills mansion of global pop star Rihanna while she was reportedly inside the home with her family on Sunday afternoon.
Police say the shots were fired at around 1:15 p.m. local time from a vehicle parked across the street from the gated property in the Beverly Crest area of Los Angeles. Officers responded to a report of gunfire and later located and arrested the suspect, identified as Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, in a shopping centre parking lot roughly 30 minutes after the incident. Dispatch audio obtained by investigators reportedly captured at least 10 shots being fired toward the mansion, with bullets striking the exterior gate and walls of the home as well as an RV parked in the driveway. Although the singer and her family were inside at the time, no injuries have been reported. Officers tracked down a white Tesla vehicle believed to have been used in the attack. A search of the car led to the recovery of an AR‑15‑style semi‑automatic rifle and several shell casings. Ortiz was taken into custody and is being held at the LAPD Metropolitan Detention Center with bail set at approximately $10.225 million Authorities have booked Ortiz on suspicion of attempted murder, although prosecutors have not yet announced formal charges. Police have not confirmed a clear motive for the shooting, and detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery‑Homicide Division continue to investigate the case. Ortiz, a Florida resident, has a documented history of prior legal issues, including arrests in her home state that may now factor into investigators’ examination of her actions. The pop star born Robyn Rihanna Fenty was reportedly inside the mansion at the time of the incident, alongside her partner A$AP Rocky and their three young children, though officials have not publicly confirmed the presence of all family members. Rihanna, 38, one of the world’s best‑selling music artists and a billionaire businesswoman with major fashion and cosmetics ventures, has not yet issued a public statement on the incident. The incident has reignited concerns over the safety of high‑profile public figures and the threat posed by individuals targeting celebrities. This is not the first time the singer has faced a security scare; in 2018, another intruder broke into one of her homes though again she was unharmed. Police say the motive behind the attack remains unclear, and they have urged anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.
