Police have identified 35-year-old Ivanna Ortiz as the alleged shooter who fired from an AR-15-style weapon at Grammy Award-winning musician Rihanna’s house on Sunday afternoon.

“The suspect was located and taken into custody without further incident,” the LAPD told the Post. “A weapon was recovered. This is an active LAPD Robbery Homicide Division (RHD) investigation.”

The Barbados-born R&B singer was reportedly at her house, a source confirmed to The California Post, when the shooting occurred. LAPD confirmed that no one was injured.

This is not the first time someone has attacked the star.

In 2018, a 27-year-old man broke into Rihanna’s Hollywood Hills residence after hopping a fence, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. The alleged intruder — identified by prosecutors as Eduardo Leon — slipped inside the property while the singer was away and camped out in the house for roughly 12 hours before being discovered by one of her assistants.

Leon later pleaded no contest to stalking and was slapped with a 10-year stay-away order, barring him from going anywhere near the pop icon.
