New Details Emerge: Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Were Bowling Until 2 a.m. on Night of Home Shooting Scare

By Entertainment & Crime Desk | Hanoi, March 11, 2026

As investigators dig deeper into the terrifying daylight gunfire attack on Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Beverly Hills mansion, fresh reports reveal the couple was nowhere near home during the incident. According to a new Page Six exclusive, the power couple spent the previous Saturday evening enjoying a low-key, playful date night in Los Angeles—hours before bullets ripped through their property’s front gate on Sunday, March 8.

Witnesses spotted Rihanna and A$AP Rocky at Lucky Strike inside the Beverly Center, an upscale bowling and arcade venue known for its vibrant, casual vibe. The pair arrived in the evening and appeared completely relaxed, laughing and bowling together like any other couple on a night out. Sources described them as “playful and affectionate,” with no signs of tension or unusual behavior. They stayed well past midnight, finally leaving around 2:00 a.m. ET, surrounded by their full security detail.

The timing raises chilling questions: Was suspect Ivanna Lisette Ortiz aware the couple was out? Did she deliberately wait until the residence was quieter—or was she hoping to catch them upon return? The attack occurred around 1:20 p.m. the following day, with up to 10 rounds fired from an AR-15-style rifle at the front gate, an RV in the driveway, and parts of the home’s exterior. Their three children—RZA (3), Riot (2), and infant Rocki (6 months)—were inside with staff, heightening the family’s horror.

LAPD arrested Ortiz near Sherman Oaks shortly after, charging her with attempted murder, multiple counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and shooting at an inhabited dwelling and vehicle. Bail exceeds $10 million. Authorities are examining her disturbing YouTube channel “Praying Woman’s Journal,” where she posted rants labeling Rihanna a “witch,” claiming spiritual warfare, and bizarrely referencing Cardi B, Kim Kardashian, and others in unhinged messages posted in the weeks prior.

Rihanna reportedly heard the shots but was initially confused, not realizing her family had been targeted. A source close to the couple told media outlets she is “freaking the f*** out,” devastated that even top-tier security couldn’t prevent the assault. “It’s scary to realize something like this can still happen,” the insider said, emphasizing the randomness and vulnerability despite their precautions.

The Beverly Crest mansion, purchased for approximately $13.8 million, boasts extensive security features—yet bullet fragments penetrated walls and struck parked vehicles. Seven to ten people were on the property at the time of the shooting, amplifying fears for the children’s safety.

This latest revelation fuels speculation about motive: Was Ortiz stalking the couple, monitoring their movements, or acting on delusional obsession? Her prior arrests, including domestic violence-related incidents, add to the concerning profile. Prosecutors stress the gravity of the charges, with attempted murder carrying potential life imprisonment.

Fans have rallied online with messages of support and outrage, many calling for stronger protections for celebrity families. “No one deserves to live in fear like that—especially with babies involved,” one viral comment read.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have since reportedly left Los Angeles temporarily for added safety while the investigation unfolds. The couple, who have kept a relatively private family life since welcoming their children, now faces an unwelcome spotlight on their vulnerability.

In an era where fame can attract dangerous fixation, this incident underscores a harsh reality: even the most fortified homes aren’t immune. As new leads emerge, the question lingers—was this a calculated strike timed around their absence, or a terrifying coincidence?

For now, the priority remains clear: protecting a family that just wants normalcy. The empire they’ve built is unbreakable—but no one is untouchable.
