Chilling 911 Dispatch Audio Captures Shooting at Rihanna's Beverly Hills Mansion
Newly obtained 911 dispatch audio has revealed the frantic moments during a shooting incident at Rihanna's Beverly Hills mansion on Sunday. The audio, obtained by the Daily Mail, paints a chilling scene as dispatchers urgently report that approximately ten shots were fired at the luxury property.
Details from the Emergency Call
In the audio recording, dispatchers can be heard describing the unfolding situation with increasing urgency. The 38-year-old singer-songwriter was reportedly inside her home at the time of the incident, though fortunately she was not injured during the shooting. Police later identified the alleged shooter as 35-year-old Ivanna Ortiz from Florida, who now faces an attempted murder charge with bail set at $10.2 million.
During the emergency call, dispatchers provided critical details about the suspect's vehicle. "The suspect was believed to be driving a white Tesla," one dispatcher announced just minutes into the call, adding that the shots appeared to have been fired from the moving vehicle. While initial information lacked specific details about the driver or license plate, dispatchers did relay the direction in which the vehicle was reportedly traveling.
Investigation and Arrest Details
As the call progressed, dispatchers updated the description to note that the Tesla allegedly displayed temporary paper license plates. The audio also documents authorities searching through surveillance footage to obtain a clearer view of the suspect vehicle, which ultimately led to the license plate number being circulated to police units.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the suspect fired multiple shots at Rihanna's address from her vehicle. Police descriptions relayed over radio indicated the woman had her hair in braids and wore a cream blouse. Notably, her vehicle was described as having dirt on the bottom, a detail that proved crucial to her apprehension.
A police helicopter soon spotted the vehicle in a Sherman Oaks parking lot, where Ortiz was arrested based on the detailed description. The arrest came after what appears to have been a coordinated effort between ground units and aerial surveillance.
Background on the Alleged Shooter
The Daily Mail has revealed additional concerning details about Ortiz's background. Despite presenting herself as a Christian influencer, Ortiz allegedly made disturbing threats directed toward Rihanna just days before the shooting incident. Her criminal history includes previous arrests for:
- Domestic violence
- Careless driving
- Violating pretrial release conditions in Florida
In December of last year, Ortiz filed an appeal to overturn a custody decision in her home state where her child was awarded to her former partner. These details add complexity to the ongoing investigation as detectives work to determine the alleged shooter's motive.
Rihanna's Situation and Property Details
A source close to Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky told The New York Post that the couple "don't know much" about the incident and were largely left in the dark regarding what transpired. The same source confirmed that Rocky was not at home during the shooting, though it remains unclear whether the couple's three children—RZA (3), Riot (2), and Rocki (5 months)—were present when the shots were fired.
Rihanna purchased the stunning Beverly Hills property in 2021. The mansion features:
- Five bedrooms and seven bathrooms
- An open-air courtyard and pool
- Location on a secluded cul-de-sac
- A sprawling 21,958 square-foot lot
- Original construction dating to the 1930s
The property sits directly across from Paul McCartney's home and shares the typically quiet street with other celebrity neighbors including Madonna and Mariah Carey, who has leased a property nearby for years.
The LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division is leading the investigation into the incident. The Daily Mail has reached out to both Rihanna's representatives and the Beverly Hills Police Department for comment but has not yet received responses. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to piece together the events that led to this alarming incident at one of Beverly Hills' most exclusive addresses.
