Woman Behind Shooting at Rihanna’s Home Finally Identified

Authorities have identified the woman accused of firing shots at Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home on Sunday. Law enforcement sources say the suspect is 35-year-old Ivana Lisette Ortiz. She was booked on charges of attempted murder, with bail set at $10,225,000, and remains in custody.

According to the Los Angeles Times, multiple rounds were fired into the singer’s home while she was inside. A law enforcement source told the outlet that the shooting occurred around 1:15 p.m. PT, with Ortiz reportedly firing from her white Tesla parked across from the property’s gate.

One bullet penetrated the wall of the house, and investigators also found damage to the gate and an RV outside.

Despite the alarming attack, no one was injured. “There were no injuries,” said Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jonathan de Vera. The suspect was apprehended roughly 30 minutes after the 911 call, following a police pursuit.

A helicopter tracked her vehicle south on Coldwater Canyon Drive until officers caught up with her at a shopping center in Sherman Oaks. During a search of her car, police reportedly found “an assault rifle and seven casings,” according to LAPD spokesperson Armen Arias.

Rihanna lives at the home with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, and their three children: RZA, Riot, and Rocki, who is just over five months old. It remains unclear if anyone else was home during the shooting.

Representatives for Rihanna have not yet commented on the incident, which police say is still under investigation.
