Woman Charged After Home of Bajan Superstar Rihanna Comes Under Gunfire

LOS ANGELES, CA  – A 35-year-old woman is being held on US$10.2 million bail after she was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the home of pop star Rihanna was hit by gunfire.

Rihanna (File Photo)Los Angeles police say Ivanna Lisette Ortiz,  who is from Orlando, Florida, was arrested at a shopping complex half an hour after officers responded to reports of gunfire at the Beverly Hills mansion on Sunday.

They said that Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, and who was made a National Hero on November 30, 2021, during the ceremony marking Barbados’ transition to a parliamentary republic, was at home at the time. She was not injured.

Captain Mike Bland told reporters the weapon used was an AR-15-style rifle and assault rifle casings were found at the scene.

Aerial footage after the attack showed bullet holes in a gate at the sprawling property, which Rihanna shares with rapper A$AP Rocky and their three children.

Last September, the 37-year-old star, who has launched multiple businesses, including her popular makeup range Fenty Beauty and a lingerie company, gave birth to her third child, a girl, with partner A$AP Rocky.

The couple also share two sons Riot and RZA. Forbes has estimated Rihanna’s worth at over a billion US dollars.
