Pop superstar Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home was the target of a shooting Sunday afternoon, resulting in the arrest of a 30-year-old woman, according to reports. The incident, which occurred in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood, prompted a swift response from the Los Angeles Police Department.
Authorities say the suspect fired multiple rounds toward the mansion, with at least one bullet penetrating a wall. Rihanna was reportedly at home at the time of the shooting and is unharmed, though the presence of her husband, A$AP Rocky, and their three children during the incident remains unconfirmed. The motive behind the shooting is currently under investigation.
Details of the Incident
Police responded to reports of gunfire at approximately 1:21 p.m. On Sunday, initiating a search for the suspect and her vehicle, described as a white Tesla. According to radio dispatch audio reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, “approximately 10 shots” were fired at the residence from across the street. The suspect was apprehended around 30 minutes after the initial 911 call in a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks.
Officers described the suspect as having braids and wearing a cream-colored blouse, noting that her vehicle appeared dirty on the bottom. No injuries were reported in the incident, according to Police Sgt. Jonathan de Vera, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department. Assault rifle casings were found at the scene, the BBC reports.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Family
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky share three young children: a daughter and two sons. The couple welcomed their third child, a daughter, in September, following the birth of their sons, RZA and Riot Rose. The family resides in a colonial-style mansion in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood. In February, A$AP Rocky was found not guilty of firing a gun at a former friend, a trial Rihanna attended with her two sons, as previously reported.
The incident comes as Rihanna continues to build her empire, expanding beyond her successful music career into ventures like Fenty Beauty and a lingerie company. Her net worth is estimated to be over a billion dollars, according to Forbes.
Investigation Ongoing
Law enforcement officials are currently working to determine the motive behind the shooting. TMZ and the Los Angeles Times report that investigators are exploring potential reasons for the attack. As of Monday morning, the suspect’s identity has not been publicly released.
The Los Angeles Police Department has not released further details regarding the investigation.
What comes next is a thorough investigation into the suspect’s background and potential motives. Authorities will likely focus on establishing any connection between the suspect and Rihanna, as well as determining if this was a targeted attack or a random act of violence.
