==Authorities have arrested Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, following a shooting incident at the residence of musician Rihanna. Ortiz allegedly discharged an AR-15-style weapon at the singer's front gate and an RV parked on the property. Rihanna, her three children, and others were reportedly inside the home at the time. No injuries were reported, and Ortiz was taken into custody shortly after the event.*
Reports indicate that in the weeks preceding the incident, Ortiz posted numerous erratic messages and videos online. These posts frequently targeted various celebrities, including Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Drake, and Cardi B. While police have not officially stated a motive, the content of these social media entries suggests a fixation on Rihanna.
A Pattern of Erratic Declarations
Ortiz's online activities painted a picture of significant distress and delusion. She repeatedly accused Rihanna of jealousy, claiming the singer invaded her dreams and stole her thoughts. In one video, Ortiz asserted that Rihanna used her music for "witchcraft." She also made pronouncements about divine retribution, stating, "When Rihanna is gone, God will take her to her future." Ortiz also appeared to see herself as a "watchman" figure, imploring others not to "listen to her [Rihanna]" or "follow her."

Her social media personas described her as a "Bible influencer." However, these platforms also displayed a history of personal turmoil. Records suggest Ortiz faced charges in the past related to an alleged violent encounter with an ex-partner in the presence of their child.
