Shots Fired at Rihanna's Beverly Hills Home from White Tesla
A 30-year-old woman driving a white Tesla opened fire on Rihanna's Beverly Hills mansion with an assault rifle on Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The popstar, 38, was inside the property at the time of the shooting, but fortunately, nobody was injured in the alarming incident.
Police Nab Suspect Thanks to Dirty Vehicle
Officers were able to locate and arrest the suspect after a police helicopter spotted her Tesla in a Sherman Oaks parking lot. A key detail that led to her capture was the vehicle's visibly dirty bottom, which matched descriptions relayed over police radio. The woman, whose identity remains unknown, was described as having braided hair and wearing a cream blouse during the attack.
Radio dispatch audio obtained by the LA Times revealed that at least ten shots were fired from the Tesla before the driver fled the scene. The LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division has taken over the investigation, though a possible motive for the shooting has not yet been determined. Authorities have indicated that more information about the suspect will be released on Monday.
Celebrity Couple Left in the Dark About Attack
A source close to Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky told The New York Post that the couple "don't know much" about what happened and were "left in the dark" regarding the incident. The same source confirmed that Rocky was not at home during the shooting. The celebrity pair share three young children: RZA, age three; Riot, age two; and five-month-old Rocki.
The Fenty Beauty founder purchased the stunning Beverly Hills property in 2021 for approximately $10 million. The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home sits on a sprawling 21,958-square-foot lot in a secluded cul-de-sac and features tall hedges that provide complete privacy from the street. Notable neighbors on the same quiet road include music legends Sir Paul McCartney, Mariah Carey, and Madonna.
Inside the Family's Beverly Hills Paradise
In 2024, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky offered fans a glimpse inside their family home, revealing a space filled with hundreds of toys and sweet family portraits. The interior includes a marble counter adorned with snacks and baby products, an adorable black-and-white photo of the couple, and a colorful painting of the pair. A magnet board displayed the words "Riot," "RZA," "apples," and "boy" in bright letters.
Interestingly, in 2021, it was reported that Rihanna had been renting out the property for $80,000 per month after purchasing the neighboring home. However, sources indicate she has since moved back into the mansion with her family.
Recent Activities and Relationship Timeline
Just last Sunday, the couple appeared in good spirits during a date night at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, coordinating in black leather jackets and sunglasses. Their relationship has been the subject of marriage speculation this past year, fueled by Rihanna referring to Rocky as her "loving husband" and him describing her as his "wife."
The two were friends for over a decade before beginning their romantic relationship in 2020, following Rihanna's split from ex-boyfriend Hassan Jameel. They welcomed their first son, RZA, in May 2022. Rihanna famously announced her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl Halftime Show in February 2023, giving birth to son Riot Rose that August. She confirmed her third pregnancy at the Met Gala in May 2025 and gave birth to daughter Rocki Irish in September.
