A 35-year-old woman has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly firing multiple gunshots at the Beverly Hills residence of global music star Rihanna, while the singer and her three children were reportedly inside the house.


Authorities identified the suspect as Ivana Lisette Ortiz, who was arrested following the incident that occurred on March 9, 2026, at Rihanna’s home in Beverly Hills, California.
