What Happened at Rihanna’s House?

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that one round had “penetrated a wall” of the house at 1:21 p.m. on Sunday. There were “no injuries” reported at the residence.

The suspect reportedly “fired multiple rounds from inside her vehicle” into the home. According to NBC News, the shooter allegedly used “an AR-15-style rifle.”

The case is now being investigated by the LAPD’s “elite Robbery-Homicide Division.”

Arresting the Suspect

Officers “caught sight of” the suspect’s vehicle after the incident and “followed it to a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks, where they arrested” the suspect, according to the L.A. Times.

Once in custody, Us Weekly confirmed the suspect was identified and held on $10 million bail on Monday, March 9.

On March 10, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office shared a statement that confirmed the suspect’s charges as “one count of attempted murder, 10 felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three felony counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper.”

The statement, viewed by Us, also stated that the suspect “faces life in state prison” if convicted as charged.

“Her arraignment was continued to March 25 in Department 30 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center,” the statement continued, noting that bail was then set to “$1.875 million.”

Were Rihanna’s Kids Home During the Incident?

Rihanna lives in the Beverly Hills mansion with her longtime partner, ASAP Rocky, and their three children: sons RZA, 3, and Riot, 2, and daughter Rocki, 5 months. (Rihanna and Rocky have been together since 2020.)

It’s unclear who else was home with the 38-year-old singer at the time of the shooting.

Neither Rihanna nor Rocky have addressed the shooting publicly. Us reached out to Rihanna’s team and the LAPD on Sunday for comment.
