A Florida woman fired about 20 rounds at Rihanna’s Los Angeles home and put “lives at risk” while the Grammy winner, her partner A$AP Rocky and their children were inside, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, pleaded not guilty to all charges in connection with the March 8 attack on Rihanna’s home in the Beverly Crest neighborhood of L.A.
By taking aim at Rihanna’s home and squeezing off about 20 rounds, Ortiz was “putting numerous lives at risk,” Deputy DA Alexander Bott told a judge.
Ortiz was found in a car with the rife, ammunition and a wig she was going to use a disguise, Bott said.
Ortiz faces one count of attempted murder, 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, two counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling and one count of shooting at an inhabited vehicle, according to the criminal complaint.
She is due back in court on April 8, when a preliminary hearing date will be set. Ortiz is being held in lieu of $1.875 million bail and has been ordered to have no contact with Rihanna.
The suspect drove up to the property’s entrance and started shooting, police said. A possible motive wasn’t clear.
The property’s front gate appeared to have bullet holes, but police said no one was hurt.
