Police took a woman into custody after she fired gunshots near the Los Angeles home of Rihanna on Sunday, according to police and news reports. That woman has been identified as Ivanna Lisette Ortiz. She is currently in custody as officials have set her bail at $10 million. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have yet to address the incident. Meanwhile, fans are resurfacing disturbing posts Ivanna has made about the pop star.
Editor’s Note: Officials have updated the name of the suspected shooter, and that correction has been applied to this article.
Police received a call about shots fired near a home in the Beverly Hills area, spokesperson and Officer Charles Miller said Monday. Miller did not say who lived in the home. Multiple local news outlets reported that it belongs to Rihanna. Public records show the property in the Beverly Hills area is owned by a trust run by Evan Jehle. Jehle is a member of the advisory board for Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation.
A 35-year-old woman was taken into custody “without further incident” after the shooting. Also, cops recovered a weapon, according to a statement from law enforcement. Entertainment Journalist Loren Lorosa identified the suspect as Ivanna Lisette Ortiz on Monday in a tweet. Police booked Ortiz on suspicion of attempted murder. The 35-year-old, born June 2, 1990, is in jail on $10,255,000 bail. Meanwhile, the district attorney has not yet announced charges.
No one was injured in the shooting on Sunday afternoon, police said. The Associated Press reports that it was not immediately clear whether the pop star was at home when the shooting. However, TMZ cited law enforcement sources that said Rihanna was home. As for A$AP Rocky and their three kids, Riot, RZA, and Rocki, their location during the shooting is unclear. See a mugshot of Ivanna below.
KABC-TV showed video of what appeared to be five bullet holes in the front gate of the home. The gunfire came from across the street, police said.
“Shooting just occurred. Ten gunshots fired from the vehicle,” a police dispatcher told responding officers on audio obtained by KABC.
It was not known if Ivanna Lisette Ortiz had any connection to Rihanna. As mentioned, fans have already dug up threatening and defaming social media posts from Ortiz against the singer.
In one post written on February 23, Ivanna wrote: “@badgirlriri Are you there? Cause I was waiting for your AIDS 5-head self to say something to me directly instead of sneaking around like you talking to me where I’m not at.”
In another post from December 20, 2025, Ortiz hash tagged a demand to “send this everywhere,” adding, “THEY ARE DONE.” Ivanna’s post itself called Kim Kardashian a “stupid b*tch” after claiming she “restricted” her. She added, “I’m already threw with Rihanna. Your turn hiding b*tch. Stop begging for a look.”
And that’s not all. On X (formerly Twitter), videos have surfaced of Ivanna speaking of her dislike for Rihanna and her face. Additionally, she alleges the singer is harassing her, is jealous of her and that God will bless her once Rih is “gone.”
In May 2018, a man named Eduardo Leon was accused of breaking into a different home of Rihanna’s in the Hollywood Hills. He jumped the fence and allegedly spent 12 hours there before the singer’s assistance found him and called the cops. Rih was not in the home during the break-in. Leon pleaded no contest to felony counts of stalking and vandalism and a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest in 2019. His sentence was five years of probation and 90 days of GPS monitoring, per ABC30. Also, the court ordered him to undergo mental health and drug treatment and stay off of social media for five years. Leon must tay away from Rihanna for 10 years and if he violates any terms, he reportedly faces more than four years in prison.
