Rihanna Home Shooting Indictment
Grand Jury Indicts Woman on 14 Felony Counts Over Shooting at Rihanna Home
Anonymous
A Los Angeles County grand jury indicted 36-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz on 14 felony counts, including attempted murder, over the March 8 shooting at Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Beverly Crest home. Prosecutors allege Ortiz drove from Florida and fired at least 20 rounds from an assault-style rifle; gunfire struck an Airstream trailer occupied by the couple, the nursery where their children and nanny were, and a neighboring home. No one was injured. A judge found Ortiz competent to stand trial, and she pleaded not guilty through her attorney; bail was set at $2.6 million. The indictment replaced earlier charges and allows prosecutors to bypass a preliminary hearing; Ortiz could face life in prison if convicted. Her psychiatric evaluations remain sealed, and prosecutors have not disclosed a motive.
