Newly obtained 911 dispatch audio paints a chilling scene of the shooting at Rihanna’s Beverly Hills mansion on Sunday.
In audio obtained by the Daily Mail, dispatchers can be heard frantically saying that there were apparently 10 shots fired at the home.
The 38-year-old singer–songwriter was reportedly in her home at the time that a woman from Florida who was identified as the main suspect allegedly opened fire.
Police in Los Angeles later identified the alleged shooter as Ivanna Ortiz, 35. She is being held on a $10.2 million bail.
In the 911 audio, a dispatcher announces that the suspect was believed to be driving in a white Tesla a few minutes into the call, and she says that they were believed to have fired from the vehicle.
Police trace Tesla linked to shooting near Rihanna’s home
The dispatchers don’t appear to have details on the driver or the car’s license plate in the call, though they provided the direction that the car was reported to be driving in.
Later, a dispatcher updates the description to mention that the Tesla allegedly had temporary paper license plates.
The audio also appears to document the search through surveillance footage to get a better view of the white Tesla.
It’s from the audio that the license plate number from the alleged shooter’s vehicle was sent out to police.
The popstar was at the home that she shares with her partner A$AP Rocky at the time of the shooting on Sunday.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the suspect let off multiple shots at the address from her vehicle. Nobody was injured.
Influencer suspect made threats before shooting, report says
As police started hunting for the vehicle, details were relayed over the radio, describing the woman as having her hair in braids and wearing a cream blouse.
Her vehicle was also described as being dirty on the bottom.
A police helicopter soon caught sight of it in a Sherman Oaks parking lot where she was arrested thanks to the description.
Ortiz, who is ironically a Christian influencer, made disturbing threats directed toward Rihanna just days before allegedly firing at her home, the Daily Mail revealed earlier on Monday.
The Daily Mail also revealed that Ortiz has previous arrests for domestic violence, careless driving and violating pretrial release conditions in Florida.
In December of last year, she filed an appeal to overturn a decision in her home state in which the custody of her child was given to her former partner.
A source close to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky told The New York Post that the two ‘don’t know much’ and were left in the dark as to what happened.
The same source confirmed that Rocky was not at home at the time of the shooting.
However, it’s unclear if the couple’s three children — RZA, three; Riot, two; and Rocki, five months — were at home when the shots broke out.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Rihanna’s representatives and the Beverly Hills Police Department for comment and has yet to hear back.
LAPD launches investigation into shooting incident
The LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating the incident, police confirmed.
Detectives are now working to determine the alleged shooter’s motive.
Rihanna purchased the stunning home, which features an open-air courtyard and pool and is just across the street from Paul McCartney’s home, in 2021.
The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion is located in a secluded cul-de-sac on a sprawling 21,958sq-ft lot that was originally built in the 1930s.
Other neighbors on the same typically quiet street include Madonna and Mariah Carey, who has been leasing a property a few doors down for years.
