Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, & Kids Were Home During Ortiz Shooting

Florida’s Ivanna Lisette Ortiz is accused of opening fire near the Beverly Hills-area home of rapper A$AP Rocky and singer Rihanna now faces attempted murder and multiple firearms charges, according to Los Angeles prosecutors.

Authorities charged the 35-year-old woman with attempting to kill Rihanna, along with 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or vehicle. Prosecutors say the alleged gunfire occurred Sunday afternoon while the couple and their family members were on the property.

Nathan Hochman said Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were together inside a trailer on the property at the time of the incident. Other relatives and staff members were inside the nearby residence. Authorities confirmed that no injuries were reported.

Law enforcement officers arrested Ortiz shortly afterward in Sherman Oaks, several miles from the residence. Investigators have not disclosed a possible motive, stating the circumstances remain under review.

Ortiz appeared in court wearing blue jail attire and communicated with her attorney through a glass partition. Her lawyer, Jamarcus Bradford, initially entered a not-guilty plea but later withdrew it to postpone the arraignment until March 25. The court ordered Ortiz held on $1.8 million bail.

During the hearing, Theresa McGonigle issued a protective order requiring Ortiz to stay away from Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, whose legal names are Robyn Fenty and Rakim Mayers. The order also bars Ortiz from possessing firearms or ammunition.

Prosecutors said three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling relate to the main residence, a trailer on the property, and a neighboring house. Ten assault counts correspond to Rihanna, family members, staff, and individuals in the nearby residence.

Hochman praised the swift law enforcement response following the reported shooting. “LA-based celebrities should not be additionally worried because of this,” Hochman said, pointing to the rapid arrest.

Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott will lead the prosecution.

Ortiz faces a potential life sentence if convicted. Prosecutors emphasized the charges remain allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
