The Los Angeles Police Department identified the suspect as Ivanna Ortiz. Authorities said she was taken into custody following a traffic stop about three miles from the couple’s Beverly Crest home in the west San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks. Ortiz remains in custody on a $10 million bond.
The shooting occurred at around 1:30 p.m., with Ortiz reportedly firing seven to nine rounds from an AR-15-style rifle at the property, which Rihanna shares with A$AP Rocky and their three children. No injuries were reported, and all family members were inside the home at the time, the LAPD confirmed.
Video from the scene showed bullet holes in the front gate, and investigators were seen examining an Airstream trailer parked on the driveway. Police have not released details on a possible motive.
Authorities said Ortiz was the sole occupant of the vehicle and that she has a criminal history in Florida, including arrests in 2023 for domestic violence battery and violation of a domestic injunction in Orange County. Social media posts from Ortiz, including one on February 23, referenced Rihanna.
Police continue to investigate the incident.
