Shooting at Rihanna’s Los Angeles Home: What Happened

A woman has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly firing multiple gunshots at the Los Angeles home of global music star Rihanna. Authorities say the singer and several family members were inside the property at the time of the shooting but no one was injured. The suspect was arrested shortly after the incident and now faces multiple felony charges.

What Authorities Say Happened

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the shooting occurred on March 8, 2026, at the singer’s home in the Beverly Crest area of Los Angeles. Investigators say a woman drove to the area and fired several shots from a vehicle toward the property.

Officials reported that about 10 rounds were fired, with bullets striking the house, a trailer on the property, and a nearby home.

At the time of the incident, the following people were reportedly on the property:

• Rihanna

• A$AP Rocky (her partner)

• Their three children

• Rihanna’s mother

• Staff members and neighbors nearby

Authorities said no injuries were reported, though investigators noted that people at the property “easily could have been hit.”

The Suspect

Police arrested Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, a 35-year-old woman from Orlando, Florida. She faces 14 felony charges, including:

• Attempted murder

• Assault with a semiautomatic firearm

• Shooting into an inhabited dwelling

• Shooting at a motor vehicle

Investigators said she allegedly fired the shots using an AR-15-style rifle from a parked car before leaving the scene. She was later stopped and arrested by police in Sherman Oaks, a neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Ortiz is currently being held on bail and could face life in prison if convicted.

Possible Motive

Authorities say the motive remains under investigation. However, law enforcement sources reported that the suspect had previously posted angry messages about Rihanna on social media before the incident.

Police have not confirmed any prior personal connection between the suspect and the singer.

Investigation Status

The case is being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division, and prosecutors have issued a protective order requiring the suspect to stay away from Rihanna and her family.

The suspect’s court arraignment is scheduled for late March 2026, where she will formally respond to the charges.
