Rihanna 'house shooter' identified as 35-year-old woman after singer's mansion targeted in horror attack
Published in Entertainment News
Rihanna's alleged house shooter has been identified as a 35-year-old woman named Ivanna Ortiz.
After being arrested on suspicion of firing shots at the Bajan singer's mansion on Sunday (08.03.26), police told Page Six Ortiz had been taken into custody the same day after gunfire was directed at a home owned by Rihanna, 38.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department arrested the woman on suspicion of attempted murder following the incident, which took place at the property where Rihanna lives with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, 37, and their three children - RZA, three, Riot Rose, two, and Rocki Irish Mayers, who is five months old.
Page Six reported authorities said the shooting occurred on Sunday afternoon and that Ortiz is currently being held at the LAPD Metropolitan Detention Center with bail set at $10.25 million.
Police said they responded to reports of gunfire at about 1.21pm on Sunday.
According to dispatch audio cited by the Los Angeles Times, "approximately 10 shots" were fired from a vehicle.
Authorities said the vehicle was described as a white Tesla parked across the street from the property at the time of the incident.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told the California Post one of the bullets struck Rihanna's residence.
The spokesperson said the round "pierced a wall" of the house.
Police also said the vehicle then left the area, travelling south on Coldwater Canyon Drive after the shots were fired.
Officials said a motive for the shooting has not been determined.
Rihanna was reportedly inside the home at the time of the incident.
A source told People the singer, whose song Disturbia was a hit in 2008, was "okay" following the shooting.
It was not immediately clear whether A$AP Rocky or the couple's children were present when the incident occurred.
Page Six reported Ortiz had previously been arrested in Florida in connection with allegations including careless driving, domestic violence and violating pretrial release conditions.
The shooting follows other security incidents connected to properties owned by Rihanna.
In 2018, a man identified as Eduardo Leon, then aged 27, was arrested after entering another home belonging to Rihanna.
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Eduardo entered the residence after climbing over a fence while Rihanna was away.
Authorities said Eduardo remained inside the property for about 12 hours before being discovered by one of Rihanna's assistants.
Prosecutors said Eduardo later pleaded no contest to stalking.
The court ordered Eduardo to stay away from Rihanna for 10 years as part of the sentence.
