Woman Arrested After Rihanna's Home Is Targeted By Gunfire, Police Rep Confirms
The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that Rihanna’s California home was targeted by gunfire over the weekend.
A woman in her early 30s has been arrested and detained after stopping in a car outside the singer’s property in Beverly Hills on Sunday afternoon, and firing numerous shots.
One round is reported to have penetrated one of the walls of the property, where Rihanna was at home at the time, according to a police “source” who spoke to the Los Angeles Times.
No injuries have been reported, a police rep has confirmed.
As reported by CBS News, the suspect was found in a white Tesla around eight miles from Rihanna’s home.
Seven “assault rifle casings” have been found by the police, and the weapon used in the shooting has been recovered.
An LAPD spokesperson said that bullet holes had also been found in a gate at the property, as well as in an RV that had been parked in the driveway.
HuffPost UK has contacted Rihanna’s representatives for comment.
In September last year, Rihanna and her partner, fellow musician A$AP Rocky, welcomed their third child, a baby girl who they named Rocki Irish Mayers, with the Grammy winner announcing her pregnancy months earlier at that year’s Met Gala.
The two were already parents to two sons, three-year-old RZA and two-year-old Riot.
Since her rise to global fame in the mid-2000s, the Bajan performer has become one of the most popular singers of her generation thanks to number one hits like Umbrella, What’s My Name?, We Found Love and Diamonds.
In the 10 years since the release of her most recent album Anti, Rihanna has pivoted away from music to focus on ventures like her makeup and lingerie brands.
However, she has continued to sporadically release music and perform, headlining at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2023 and landing an Oscar nomination for her contribution to the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
