Woman Arrested After Gunfire Near Rihanna’s Los Angeles Home
A woman has been taken into custody after multiple gunshots were fired near the Los Angeles residence associated with music superstar Rihanna, authorities said.
The incident occurred Sunday afternoon in the Beverly Hills area, prompting a police response after reports of shots fired near the property.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, no injuries were reported during the shooting.
Suspect Arrested Without Incident
Police said a 35-year-old woman suspected of firing the shots was later taken into custody without further incident.
Authorities also recovered a firearm connected to the case.
The woman has been booked on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in jail with bail set at $10 million.
Officials said the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has not yet announced formal charges.
Gunfire Reported From Across the Street
Police initially responded after receiving a call reporting shots fired near a residence in the Beverly Hills area.
According to audio obtained by local television station KABC-TV, a dispatcher informed responding officers that approximately 10 gunshots had been fired.
Authorities believe the gunfire came from across the street from the property.
Video footage aired by KABC appeared to show five bullet holes in the front gate of the home.
Property Linked to Rihanna
Although police did not officially confirm who lived in the residence, several local media outlets reported that the property belongs to Rihanna.
Public records show the house is owned through a trust managed by Evan Jehle, a member of the advisory board for the singer’s Clara Lionel Foundation, the philanthropic organization she founded.
Representatives for Rihanna, including her publicist and manager, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
It also remains unclear whether the singer was at home when the shots were fired.
Motive Still Unknown
Investigators have not yet determined whether the suspect had any relationship with Rihanna or the property.
Police are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the shooting and what may have motivated the suspect.
Previous Security Incident
This is not the first time a property connected to Rihanna has been involved in a security incident.
In 2018, a man broke into another home owned by the singer in the Hollywood Hills and stayed there for several hours before being discovered.
The suspect later pleaded no contest to felony stalking and vandalism charges, as well as resisting arrest. He received a probation sentence in 2019.
Rihanna’s Career and Business Ventures
Rihanna is one of the most successful artists in modern music.
The singer has won nine Grammy Awards and has scored 14 No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including hits such as Umbrella, We Found Love, Work, and Disturbia.
Beyond music, she is also a major entrepreneur. In 2017, she launched the cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty, which quickly became a global success.
Rihanna shares three children with rapper A$AP Rocky. The couple welcomed their third child, a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayers, in September.
Investigation Ongoing
Police say the investigation into the shooting remains active as detectives work to determine what led to the gunfire near the property.
Authorities have not yet released additional details about the suspect or whether further charges could be filed.
