Woman Arrested After Shooting Near Pop Star Rihanna’s Beverly Hills Home

A 35-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after firing approximately ten shots near Rihanna's Beverly Hills residence. The suspect faces attempted murder charges and is being held on $10 million bail, though no injuries were reported.

LOS ANGELES — A woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after opening fire near the Beverly Hills residence of pop superstar Rihanna on Sunday afternoon, authorities confirmed Monday.

The incident left no one injured, though it remains unclear whether the Grammy-winning artist was present at the property during the shooting, police officials stated.

Officer Charles Miller, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department, said authorities responded to reports of gunfire in the Beverly Hills neighborhood on Sunday. A 35-year-old suspect was subsequently apprehended “without further incident,” and investigators retrieved a firearm, law enforcement officials confirmed in their statement. The woman now faces attempted murder charges and remains jailed with bail set at $10 million. Prosecutors have not yet filed formal charges.

While Miller declined to identify the homeowner, several local media organizations have reported the residence belongs to the “Umbrella” singer. Property records indicate the Beverly Hills home is held by a trust managed by Evan Jehle, who serves on the advisory board for Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation.

Representatives for Rihanna have not responded to requests for comment.

Television station KABC aired footage displaying what appeared to be five bullet marks in the property’s front gate.

“Shooting just occurred. Ten gunshots fired from the vehicle,” a police dispatcher told responding officers on audio obtained by KABC. Authorities said the shots originated from across the street.

Police have not determined whether the arrested woman had any prior relationship with Rihanna.

This marks the second security incident at one of the performer’s homes in recent years. In 2018, a man broke into a different Rihanna property in the Hollywood Hills and remained there for 12 hours. The intruder entered a no contest plea in 2019 to felony stalking and vandalism charges, plus a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest, receiving a probation sentence.

The nine-time Grammy recipient has achieved 14 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including hits like “We Found Love,” “Work,” “Umbrella” and “Disturbia.” She launched her cosmetics company Fenty Beauty in 2017.

Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky welcomed their third child, daughter Rocki Irish Mayers, this past September.
