The suspect arrested in connection with the shots fired at Rihanna's Beverly Hills home on Sunday has been identified and booked on suspicion of attempted murder.
Arrest records viewed by ** reveal that the suspect has been identified as 35-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz.

Rihanna, 38, bought the $13.8 million mansion in 2021, and currently shares the home with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, 37, and their three children, sons RZA, 3½, Riot, 2½, and 6-month-old daughter Rocki, after he sold his nearby home in 2025.

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna began dating in 2020 and welcomed their kids in 2022, 2023, and 2025. Rumors have been rampant that the pair tied the knot sometime after the birth of their first child, especially after the Grammy-nominated rapper seemingly confirmed that he and Rihanna got married by referring to himself as a "loving husband" in an interview last year.
"Being a father and a partner and a loving husband in my family is what makes me really, really happy," A$AP Rocky (real name: Rakim Athelston Mayers) told *The Perfect Magazine** *in October. "I hope this doesn’t sound cliché, and I would hate if it does, because that’s what honestly does get me going: being able to express myself creatively, being able to be a family man and being able to be an artisan. It doesn’t matter what hat I wear that day, it’s just about being able to give it my all and do these things."
