Welcome to Arrest Stories. A Florida woman was arrested for attempted murder after allegedly firing an AR-fifteen style rifle at a Beverly Hills mansion from her white Tesla. Here's what may have happened.
On March eighth around one fifteen in the afternoon, thirty-five-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz drove up to a Beverly Hills area residence and allegedly fired multiple rounds from an assault rifle. According to police reports, Ortiz fired the shots from inside her white Tesla while positioned across the street from the property's gate.
Witnesses reported hearing approximately ten gunshots fired at the mansion. Video evidence later showed what appeared to be multiple bullet holes visible in the front driveway gate of the residence. At least one round penetrated a wall of the home itself during the attack.
After the shooting, Ortiz fled the scene in her white Tesla. A police helicopter tracked the vehicle to a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks, where she was apprehended during a traffic stop approximately half an hour after the initial nine one one call.
During the arrest, officers conducted a search of Ortiz's vehicle. Police officials stated, "When they pulled the suspect over and took her into custody, they searched the vehicle and located an assault rifle and seven casings."
The incident appears to have been preceded by concerning social media activity. On February seventeenth, Ortiz had posted content on social media, followed by additional posts on February twenty-third where she tagged and mentioned the celebrity homeowner.
One neighbor expressed surprise at the incident, saying, "I was a little shocked. We don't hear this kind of thing in this neighborhood. It's pretty quiet."
The Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery Homicide Division has taken over the investigation. Ortiz was arrested on charges of attempted murder and is currently being held on bail set at ten point two two five million dollars.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
