Florida Woman Accused of Firing Rifle at Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Home Held on $10 Million Bail
A 35-year-old woman from Florida has been arrested after authorities say she fired multiple shots at the Los Angeles home of global music star Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky.
The suspect, Ivanna Lisette Ortiz of Orlando, was taken into custody on Sunday after police tracked her vehicle following a 911 report of gunfire at the couple’s residence in the Beverly Crest neighbourhood of Los Angeles.
According to reports from NBC News, Ortiz allegedly fired several rounds from an AR-15-style rifle toward the property. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.
Authorities say officers immediately circulated a description of the suspect and her vehicle over police radio as they began searching the area. Reporting by the Los Angeles Times indicates that police shared identifying details including that the suspect had braided hair, was wearing a cream-coloured blouse, and was driving a vehicle with visible dirt along the lower panels.
Officers later located the car and followed it to a shopping centre parking lot in Sherman Oaks, where Ortiz was arrested approximately 30 minutes after the initial emergency call, according to radio communications reviewed by the newspaper.
Ortiz is now being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center with bail set at US$10,225,000, authorities confirmed.
Investigators believe the shooting may have been targeted, although officials have not publicly disclosed a motive. Online posts reportedly linked to Ortiz referenced Rihanna directly, suggesting the singer may have been the intended target.
Authorities also noted that Ortiz has had prior encounters with law enforcement, though details about those incidents have not yet been made public.
Police confirmed that neither Rihanna nor A$AP Rocky was harmed in the shooting as the investigation continues.
