Woman accused of firing at home of Rihanna indicted on attempted murder and other felony counts

Prosecutors say the shooting put Rihanna, A$AP Rocky and their three children at risk, and Ortiz could face life in prison if convicted.

  • On Tuesday, Judge Maria Cavalluzzi found Ivanna Lisette Ortiz mentally competent to stand trial in Los Angeles County for the March shooting at the Beverly Hills-area home of Rihanna and Rocky.
  • Prosecutors allege that on March 8, Ortiz pulled up in a Tesla, pointed an AR-15 style rifle out the window, and sprayed at least 20 bullets toward the property and a neighboring house.
  • Investigators found bullet holes in an Airstream trailer and the exterior wall of the second-floor nursery where three children were with their nanny; no one was injured during the incident, authorities said.
  • Having pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other felony charges, Ortiz has been returned to the regular criminal court process following the competency ruling.
  • Public records indicate the defendant had been a licensed speech pathologist for more than a decade, though authorities have not discussed a motive or connection between the Orlando Florida resident and the victims.
