A person of interest in the shooting of Mark Ruffalo's brother is now officially a wanted woman.

Beverly Hills police tell E! News that an arrest warrant has been issued for Shaha Adham in connection to the mysterious at-home Dec. 8 attack that left Scott Ruffalo in intensive care with a bullet wound to the head.

“I can confirm that a warrant has been issued,” says Lt. Tony Lee. “Detectives developed more leads in the case, and Shaha Adham has been converted from a person of interest to a suspect."

Despite a TMZ report that Adham, one of two "persons of interest" in the case announced last week, is linked to Saudi Arabian royalty, Lee says, “As far as a Saudi Arabian connection, we have no idea.”

As for Adham’s whereabouts Lee says “We have no idea where she is.”

Scott Ruffalo, 39, remains hospitalized in a fight for his life.
