Police in Los Angeles arrested a woman Sunday after authorities say she drove up to the home of global music star Rihanna and fired several rounds from an AR-15-style rifle while the singer was inside the residence.

Ivana Lisette Ortiz was booked into custody on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the Sunday afternoon incident at the property just outside Beverly Hills, police said.

“Four rounds or fragments hit parts of the property,” Los Angeles police reported after responding to the shooting at the Beverly Crest home the singer shares with hip hop artist A$AP Rocky.

The 9-time Grammy winner was at home when the suspect opened fire, but she was not hurt by any of the four rounds that hit the singer’s property, police said. A$AP Rocky and their children were also home, police told NBC Los Angeles.

Ortiz’s bail was listed in jail records at $10.225 million.

Authorities said no one was injured in the shooting, which unfolded around 1:15 p.m. at the upscale residence located just outside Beverly Hills. Investigators said Ortiz arrived at the property and began firing toward the home before officers responded to reports of an assault with a deadly weapon. Ortiz was taken into custody shortly after the shooting. Police recovered the weapon believed to have been used in the attack.

Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Mike Bland said officials are still working to determine what led to the gunfire and whether the suspect had any connection to the singer.

Investigators from the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division have taken over the case. The unit typically handles major crimes and high-profile investigations.

Helicopter video captured after the shooting showed what appeared to be damage to a gate at the property. Yellow crime scene tape blocked the street outside the residence while officers canvassed the area for evidence. Officials said it was not immediately known whether A$AP Rocky or the couple’s children were at home when the gunfire erupted.

Representatives for the singer and her partner did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The incident shook one of the most exclusive residential pockets in Los Angeles. The Beverly Crest neighborhood sits roughly 20 miles northwest of downtown and is known for hillside estates and high-profile residents. The property targeted Sunday belongs to one of the most recognizable artists in modern music.

Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in the parish of Saint Michael in Barbados, Rihanna began attracting industry attention as a teenager when producers Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken discovered her during a 2003 performance. That encounter led to a recording deal and a rapid rise in global pop music. Her debut album “Music of the Sun” introduced the dancehall-influenced single “Pon de Replay,” which propelled the young artist onto international charts. A year later she followed with “A Girl Like Me,” which produced number one hits, including “SOS.”

Her 2007 album “Good Girl Gone Bad” transformed Rihanna into a global superstar, driven by the hit “Umbrella,” which dominated radio and earned her a Grammy Award. Over the years Rihanna built one of the most dominant careers in modern pop music, recording chart-topping singles, launching world tours, and expanding into fashion and business ventures.

Police have not said whether the shooting was random, targeted, or connected to the singer’s celebrity status. Investigators continue to examine evidence collected from the scene and interview witnesses.

“More information on the woman, including booking allegations, would be released Monday,” LAPD Capt. Mike Bland said.
