Who Is the Suspect Behind the Rihanna Home Shooting?
The suspect’s name was not immediately announced, but according to Fox11 Los Angeles, her name is Ivana Lisette Ortiz. The Los Angeles Times originally reported that the person taken into custody was a 35-year-old female from Florida. Her hair was styled in braids, she was wearing a cream-colored blouse and her car was “dirty on the bottom,” per the publication. Police in a helicopter spotted her vehicle and followed it to a Sherman Oaks, California, shopping center parking lot. They arrested her there.
