Gate to Rihanna’s home, an RV hit by bullets as suspect fired assault-style rifle, police say
A woman fired several shots into the Beverly Hills-area home of pop star Rihanna on Sunday, and a round penetrated a wall of the mansion, a law enforcement source told The Times.
Los Angeles police responded to the report of the shooting at 1:21 p.m. Sunday in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood, a spokesperson said, and a 30-year-old female suspect was taken into custody.
The pop star was home, the source said.
According to police, the suspect fired multiple rounds from inside her vehicle toward the celebrity’s home. No injuries were reported in the incident, according to Police Sgt. Jonathan de Vera, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department.
The LAPD radio dispatch for the incident said that at least 10 shots had been fired at the residence from a vehicle across the street from the property’s gate. The vehicle, a white Tesla, then fled south on Coldwater Canyon Drive, per the dispatch audio.
As police searched for the Tesla, they relayed details over the radio: The suspect’s hair was in braids; she wore a cream-colored blouse; her car was dirty on the bottom. Officers in a helicopter soon caught sight of her vehicle and followed it to a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks, where they arrested her around 30 minutes after the 911 call came in, according to radio correspondence reviewed by The Times.
“When they pulled the suspect over and took her into custody, they searched the vehicle and located an assault rifle and seven casings,” said Armen Arias, an LAPD spokesperson.
Police found bullet holes in a gate at Rihanna’s home and in an RV parked in the driveway, he said.
The pop star reportedly lives in a colonial-style mansion in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood with her rapper partner ASAP Rocky. The couple share three young children, a daughter and two sons. It wasn’t immediately clear whether anyone else was home at the time of the shooting.
