AR-15-style rifle found in suspect’s car
Authorities tracked the fleeing vehicle – A Tesla with paper plates – to the Sherman Oaks Galleria, an outdoor luxury shopping center in L.A where Ortiz she was arrested in the parking lot, less than an hour after the episode, officials said.
Police said an AR-15-style rifle was found inside the vehicle.
Ortiz was booked on suspicion of attempted murder with bail set at more than $10.2 million. Investigators are trying to determine whether Ortiz knew if Rihanna lived at the home.
Shared hostile messages mentioning Rihanna days before shooting
Several social media posts attributed to Ortiz appear to show a disturbing, weeks‑long fixation on the mega pop star, including hostile messages that mentioned Rihanna by name, alleging she had AIDS and using other derogatory language, according to screenshots shared online and media reports.
In a Facebook post captured in screenshots, an account bearing Ortiz’s name tagged Rihanna’s handle and wrote that she was waiting for the star’s ‘AIDS 5‑head self’ to ‘say something to me directly instead of sneaking around like you talking to me where I’m not at,’ according to outlets that reviewed the posts. Earlier, Ortiz allegedly shared a meme insinuating Rihanna had AIDS, the Shade Room reported.
In another post from December 20, 2025, Ortiz hash tagged a demand to ‘send this everywhere,’ adding, ‘THEY ARE DONE.‘ Ivana’s post itself called Kim Kardashian a ‘stupid b*tch’ after claiming she ‘restricted’ her. She added, ‘I’m already threw with Rihanna. Your turn hiding b*tch. Stop begging for a look.’

Obsessive social media posts directed at pop star
Social media netizens also shared videos of Ivana on X speaking of her dislike for Rihanna and her face. In one shared post, Ortiz alleges the singer is harassing her, is jealous of her and that God will bless her once Rih is ‘gone.’
In a screenshot of a December 20, 2025 Facebook post, Ortiz had posted, ‘I just restricted that stupid xxxx Kim Kardashian. I’m already through with Rihanna. Your turn hiding xxxx. Stop begging for a look.’
Officials said Monday that Ortiz was from Orlando, though it was not immediately clear when she arrived in California, nor how long she had been in town.
Previous celebrity run ins
In October 2025, someone named Ivanna Ortiz filed an emergency petition for temporary injunction relief against LiveNation, the City of Orlando, and the Kia Center related to a Billie Eilish concert, according to court records.
In those documents, cited by FOX35, Ortiz alleged that she would suffer ‘immediate and irreparable harm’ if Billie Eilish’s concert proceeded due to noise concerns and traffic issues. She also expressed concern over whether a noise waiver had been filed. She asked the court to issue an injunction to stop the concert from happening.
In one document, Ortiz said the amount of claim was worth between $75,000-$100,000. The court dismissed the claim weeks later as moot, as the concert went on as scheduled.
Investigators are still working to determine a motive and whether Ortiz knew Rihanna lived at the home, police said. Rihanna, who shares three children with rapper A$AP Rocky, has not publicly commented on the shooting or the social media posts as of Monday.
