The news of Rihanna's home being shot at has left everyone shocked. Amid that, the news has surfaced that a 30-year-old woman has been arrested for the crime.
Rihanna is a well-known singer and businesswoman. While the star has been away from the musical world for a while now, her beauty brand, Fenty, has become a fan favourite. However, her absence from the musical scene hasn't affected her fan following in any way. So, when the news of her home being shot at surfaced on the internet, they were left extremely concerned.
A woman, believed to be in her thirties, has been arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department after she shot several times into the Beverly Hills home of pop star Rihanna on Sunday, March 8, 2026 (ET). According to reports by The Times, a law enforcement officer shared that a round penetrated a wall of the mansion. The LAPD responded to the report of the shooting on Sunday afternoon at 1:21 p.m., shared a spokesperson with the media outlet.
The source further revealed that Rihanna was home at the time of the shooting. According to police, the suspect fired multiple rounds from inside her vehicle toward the celebrity's home in Beverly Hills. Fortunately, no one was injured in the freak incident, as shared by Police Sgt. Jonathan de Vera, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department.
The Los Angeles Police Department radio dispatch for the incident said that "approximately 10 shots" had been fired at the residence. The report revealed that the shots were fired from a vehicle across the street from the property's gate. The vehicle was later identified as a white Tesla, which then fled south on Coldwater Canyon Drive, per the dispatch audio. According to radio correspondence reviewed by The Times, the police began searching for the Tesla, based on the details shared over the radio.
The report by The Times revealed that the radio correspondence stated that the police were informed that the suspect's hair was in braids, that she wore a cream-coloured blouse, and that her car was dirty on the bottom. Officers soon caught sight of her vehicle and followed it to a shopping centre parking lot in Sherman Oaks, where they arrested her around 30 minutes after the 911 call came in.
The pop star, Rihanna, reportedly lives in a colonial-style mansion in the Post Office neighbourhood of Beverly Hills 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. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky were parents to sons RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023. The couple welcomed their daughter, Rocki, in 2025, a little more than five months ago.
Rihanna's professional life has been marked by her status as one of the most influential figures in the entertainment industry. She is known for her multifaceted career, artistic reinventions, and eclectic fashion style. Rihanna is known as one of the top artists of all time, with estimated sales of over 250 million records. However, she has been away from the musical world for a while now, with her last track coming out in 2022 as the lead single from the soundtrack of the film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, titled Lift Me Up. While the singer has since performed at Super Bowl LVII's halftime show, becoming the first person to headline a Super Bowl halftime show while pregnant, fans have been eagerly awaiting Rihanna's new music.
