LOS ANGELES – On Monday, authorities released the name of the woman accused of firing multiple rounds of gunfire into Rihanna’s home over the weekend.
What we know:
Scary moments unfolded Sunday around 1:20 p.m. when an armed suspect, identified by the Los Angeles Police Department as Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, allegedly shot into Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s home in Los Angeles’ Beverly Crest neighborhood.
Investigators said a woman pulled up in front of the home and began shooting in the quiet neighborhood in broad daylight. Witnesses told police it was a nonstop barrage of bullets, with some rounds hitting the front gate and reportedly the entrance to the home behind the gate.
Officials confirmed the Fenty Beauty founder was home at the time of the shooting.
The suspect was seen driving a white Tesla with paper plates and was last spotted traveling northbound on Coldwater Canyon Avenue toward the San Fernando Valley.
LAPD’s air unit located the Tesla and followed it to the Sherman Oaks Galleria at the intersection of Sepulveda and Ventura boulevards. LAPD officers were waiting when the Tesla pulled into the parking area and took Ortiz into custody.
Officers said they found an assault-style rifle inside the vehicle.
On Monday, FOX 11’s Gigi Graciette confirmed with the LAPD that the 35-year-old was booked for attempted murder. In addition, her bail was set at $10,225,000, and she remains in custody.
