A woman has been charged with attempted murder after several shots were fired at Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s home.
Suspect Ivana Lisette Ortiz, 35, is accused of shooting into the celebrity couple’s home in Beverly Hills at around 1:21 p.m. Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Using an AR-15 rifle, Ortiz allegedly pulled up in front of the house and opened fire from her vehicle — a white Tesla with paper license plates — into the house, but hit the gate instead. Police recovered seven “assault rifle casings” from the home.
Ortiz was arrested at the Sherman Oaks Galleria shopping center about eight miles from the “Diamonds” singer’s home after police followed her car there. Her bail has been set at $10,225,000, and she remains in custody.
Rihanna — who shares the Beverly Hills property with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, and their three children — was home at the time of the shooting. It’s unclear if anyone else was inside with her. Police said no injuries were reported.

Rihanna’s representatives did not immediately return The Independent’s request for comment.
Police have not disclosed any known connection between Ortiz and the Fenty founder’s family. LAPD captain Mike Bland did not provide a motive for the shooting.
Investigators found an assault-style rifle in Ortiz’s car upon her arrest. The department’s elite Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating the crime.

This news comes as A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was cleared in a high-profile criminal case last year.
In February 2025, a jury found him not guilty of two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm stemming from a 2021 confrontation in Hollywood in which a former friend alleged Rocky fired a gun at him.
The Grammy-nominated rapper had been charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and faced up to 24 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
The musician’s Los Angeles homes have been targeted before. In May 2018, a 27-year-old man was arrested after allegedly breaking into her Hollywood Hills house and spending the night there while waiting for Rihanna to return.
