Rihanna was reportedly seen getting on a flight and leaving LA after house shooting incident
Following the shooting at the Beverly Hills mansion, TMZ reported that photographers spotted Rihanna leaving the home on Monday afternoon. The outlet reported that a vehicle took the luggage to Van Nuys Airport before a plane took off.
Authorities reportedly arrested 35-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz in connection with the incident, with TMZ reporting that the police booked Ortiz for attempted murder. Meanwhile, several outlets, including the BBC and the Los Angeles Times, reported bail at about $10.2 million.
Additionally, the Los Angeles Times reported that the suspect allegedly used an AR-15-style weapon and fired from a vehicle toward the house, and that a round penetrated a wall of the mansion. The police then located the suspect’s vehicle shortly after the shooting. BBC News reported officers found a white Tesla about eight miles away at the Sherman Oaks Galleria shopping center, where they took Ortiz into custody.
The Los Angeles Times included a statement from an LAPD spokesperson, Armen Arias, about what officers found after the arrest, with Arias telling the tabloid, “When they pulled the suspect over and took her into custody, they searched the vehicle and located an assault rifle and seven casings.”
Officials have not announced a motive yet, and reports claim there is no link between Ortiz and Rihanna. However, TMZ and the Los Angeles Times reported that Ortiz posted online about Rihanna before allegedly shooting at her Beverly Hills mansion.
