Los Angeles police on Monday identified a 35-year-old Florida woman as the person who allegedly opened fire on Rihanna's Southern California home with an AR-15-style rifle.
Ivanna Lisette Ortiz was booked into custody on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the Sunday afternoon incident at the property just outside Beverly Hills, police said.
The nine-time Grammy winner was at the home in Beverly Crest, just north of Beverly Hills, with partner A$AP Rocky and their children when the shots were fired at about 1:15 p.m., police said.
The suspect drove up to the property's entrance and started shooting, police said. A possible motive wasn't clear.
The property's front gate appeared to have bullet holes, but police said no one was hurt.

A car matching the description of the one seen at Rihanna's house during the shooting was spotted in nearby Sherman Oaks, where officers made a traffic stop and arrested the suspect, LAPD sources told NBC Los Angeles.

Ortiz was arrested at 2:20 p.m. Sunday and booked into L.A. County jail shortly after 2 a.m. Monday, according to sheriff's records. Her bail was listed in jail records at $10.225 million.
The suspect was linked to social media accounts of an Illinois native who claims to work as a speech therapist in Florida.
State records indicate there is a woman of the same name who is a licensed speech-language pathologist who is currently in good standing. The license was issued on March 17, 2015, and is active until Dec. 31, 2027, according to state records.

The suspect also has arrest records linked to Florida.
Her divorce from her ex-husband turned violent on June 25, 2023, when he dropped off their children at Ortiz's apartment, according to an arrest affidavit.
Ortiz had texted the ex-husband, "You'll be socked on the nose tonight" at the drop-off, according to the affidavit.
Cellphone video of the confrontation showed Ortiz calling the man a homophobic slur, the affidavit said.
