Beverly Hills police arrested, but later released, a 26-year-old woman suspected of the shooting. They have not publicly named any other suspects.

The woman’s attorney said at the time of her release that Ruffalo shot himself in the head playing Russian roulette. Jail records do not indicate she has been re-arrested.
