The suspect in the March 8, 2026, shooting of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Beverly Hills, California, home was identified as Ivana Lisette Ortiz by police. Rihanna was inside the house, according to the Los Angeles Times. Fortunately, she was unharmed. The famous musicians, who share children RZA, Riot and Rocki together, have not spoken publicly about the incident, and as questions arise about the case, many are wondering why anyone would target the “Diamonds” hitmaker in the first place.
Here is everything we know so far about Ortiz and the shooting she was allegedly involved in.
Ortiz is a 35-year-old from Florida, according to multiple outlets. After being taken into police custody, she was booked on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the March 8, 2026, incident. Her bail was set at $10,225,000.
Multiple outlets reported that the weapon involved in the shooting of Rihanna’s residence was an AR-15-style rifle or semi-automatic rifle. The suspect shot 10 rounds at the Beverly Hills mansion from a white Tesla.
It’s unclear if Ortiz personally knew Rihanna or A$AP Rocky, but according to TMZ, she shared a strange Facebook post about the Fenty Beauty founder weeks before the shooting.
On February 23, 2026, a post was shared to Ortiz’s account that read, “@badgalriri 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.”
