Incident Overview
A woman has been arrested after multiple shots were fired into Rihanna’s home in Beverly Hills, California, on March 8, 2026. The incident occurred around 1:21 p.m. local time, with police reporting that approximately 10 shots were fired from a vehicle described as a white Tesla parked across the street.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident, which took place while Rihanna was home with her partner, A$AP Rocky, and their three children: RZA Athleston, Riot Rose, and Rocki Irish Mayers.
The suspect, identified as 35-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, was taken into custody on suspicion of attempted murder. An assault rifle and seven casings were found in her vehicle, leading to her arrest. Ortiz is currently being held on a $10 million bond.
According to LAPD radio dispatch, “approximately 10 shots had been fired at the home from a vehicle described as a white Tesla parked across the street.” The LAPD Robbery Homicide Division is investigating the incident.
This is not the first time Rihanna has faced security threats at her residence. In 2018, a man broke into her house in the Hollywood Hills and was sentenced to probation for stalking. Such incidents raise concerns about the safety of high-profile individuals.
Ongoing Investigation
Details remain unconfirmed regarding whether anyone else was in the residence during the shooting. Additionally, a possible motive for the shooting has not been provided, and it is unclear if Ortiz had any connection to Rihanna.
The incident comes just before A$AP Rocky’s upcoming world tour, adding to the urgency of the investigation. The LAPD continues to gather information as they work to understand the circumstances surrounding this alarming event.
