Rihanna’s Los Angeles mansion was reportedly targeted by gunfire while the singer was at home. According to a report by The Los Angeles Times, a suspect fired multiple rounds from inside a vehicle towards Rihanna’s home in Beverly Hills. The LAPD confirmed that a round penetrated a wall of the home at 1:21 PM on Sunday.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and a 30-year-old female suspect was taken into custody. LAPD radio dispatch mentioned that approximately 10 shots were fired from a white Tesla vehicle across the street before fleeing the scene. The suspect, described as having braided hair and wearing a cream-colored blouse, was later arrested at a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks.
It is unclear if Rihanna was alone at home or with her partner ASAP Rocky and their three children. LAPD’s elite Robbery-Homicide Division is currently investigating the incident. Photos of the crime scene with police tape were published by TMZ, revealing the aftermath of the shooting.
NBC News reported that an AR-15-style rifle was used in the incident, and more information on the suspect would be released soon. Rihanna had hinted at the possibility of expanding her family in a recent Instagram comment, showing her interest in having more children.
In a separate incident, ASAP Rocky was found not guilty in his assault trial related to a 2021 shooting incident. The rapper, born Rakim Mayers, was acquitted by a Los Angeles jury, bringing closure to the legal proceedings. He had previously faced two felony counts in the case.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have been vocal about their relationship, with ASAP expressing his deep connection to the singer and their shared experiences. The couple has also made promises to name their next baby after their lawyer, Joe Tacopina, as a gesture of gratitude for his representation.
The details of these incidents have sparked concern among fans and the public, highlighting the need for increased security measures for celebrities. As the investigation unfolds, more information is expected to shed light on the motives behind the shooting at Rihanna’s home.
