In a shocking incident, police dispatch audio has provided new insights into the shooting that occurred at Rihanna’s Beverly Hills residence. The alarming event took place on March 12, 2023, while the global superstar was reportedly at home.
According to reports from TMZ, the audio reveals a dispatcher indicating that approximately ten gunshots were heard, followed by a reference to a white Tesla Model 3 with paper license plates. The gunfire originated from this vehicle, striking the walls of Rihanna’s home, as well as hitting a gate and an RV parked in the driveway. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported at the scene, although it remains unclear if A$AP Rocky or their three children were present at the time. The couple shares a son, RZA, born in May 2022, a second son, Riot, born in August 2023, and a daughter, Rocki, welcomed in 2025. As of now, Rihanna has not publicly commented on the incident.
The police investigation led to the arrest of 35-year-old Ivana Lisette Ortiz, who is facing charges of attempted murder. Ortiz is currently in custody with a staggering bail set at $10,225,000. LAPD spokesperson Armen Arias informed the Los Angeles Times that during the arrest, authorities discovered an assault rifle and seven shell casings inside her vehicle.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Ortiz’s recent Facebook posts have gone viral. In one notable message, she directly addressed Rihanna, expressing frustration over what she perceived as a lack of communication: “@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,” she wrote. Additionally, Ortiz shared a video criticizing Cardi B, claiming her superiority in a rather eccentric manner, stating, “You can’t f*** with me, Cardi B… I am. I’m the cutest tonight.”
This unsettling incident has raised concerns about celebrity safety and the lengths some individuals will go to seek attention or notoriety. As the investigation continues, fans and the public remain on edge, hoping for clarity and justice in the wake of this frightening event.
