A rifle-wielding woman who allegedly opened fire on singer Rihanna’s home in the Beverly Crest area of Los Angeles was behind bars Monday on suspicion of attempted murder.

The shooting was reported around 1:15 p.m. Sunday in the 9500 block of Heather Road, just west of Beverly Hills, about 1:15 p.m. Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

According to the LAPD, which did not identify Rihanna as the home’s resident, officers responded to an assault with a deadly weapon/shots fired call and met the person who made the call.

After obtaining suspect information, the woman was located, taken into custody and a weapon was recovered, police said.

The LAPD identified her as Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, who was booked on suspicion of attempted murder with bail set at $10.225 million.

LAPD Capt. Mike Bland told reporters at the scene the weapon was an AR-15-style rifle.

The suspect was allegedly driving a white Tesla when she stopped across the street from the house Rihanna shares with rapper A$AP Rocky and their three children and opened fire.

Ortiz was arrested in the parking lot of the Sherman Oaks Galleria about 30 minutes after the gunfire was reported.

Helicopter footage after the shooting showed what appeared to be bullet holes in a gate, as well as the front of the home blocked by yellow crime-scene tape attached to an LAPD SUV.

Rihanna was home at the time of the shooting, according to news reports, but it was unclear if anyone else was in the residence.

There were no reports of injuries.

The LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division is investigating the shooting.
