Woman Charged With Attempted Murder After Firing A Semiautomatic Rifle At Rihanna’s Los Angeles Mansion
Woman Charged With Attempted Murder After Firing a Semiautomatic Rifle at Rihanna’s Los Angeles Mansion A 35‑year‑old Florida woman, identified as Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, has been charged with attempted murder and multiple felony counts after allegedly firing a semiautomatic rifle at the Los Angeles mansion of global music star Rihanna (Robyn Fenty) on Sunday afternoon.According to prosecutors, Ortiz drove to the singer’s Beverly Hills‑area property and fired multiple rounds from a semiautomatic weapon toward the residence at about 1:15 p.m. local time. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said the shots were directed at the home’s exterior, striking gates and walls, but no one inside was injured. Law enforcement officials confirmed Rihanna was on the property at the time of the shooting. Her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, their three children, her mother and household staff were also present, though all were reported to be unharmed. Ortiz was arrested shortly after the incident and charged Tuesday with one count of attempted murder, 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and three counts of shooting at an inhabited vehicle or dwelling, all felonies under California law. In court, Ortiz’s attorney initially entered a not guilty plea, which was subsequently withdrawn as formal arraignment was postponed until 25 March. A judge ordered Ortiz held on $1.8 million bail, and issued a protective order barring her from contacting Rihanna, A$AP Rocky or their home. If convicted of the charges, Ortiz faces a potential life sentence in state prison. Prosecutors described the act of firing at an occupied residence as “extremely dangerous” and said the case will be aggressively pursued. Police continue to investigate Ortiz’s motive for the attack. Representatives for Rihanna and her family have not issued an official statement on the incident. Background: Rihanna, a nine‑time Grammy Award winner and founder of global brand Fenty, and A$AP Rocky, a prominent rapper, reside in the Santa Monica Mountains area of Los Angeles. The couple welcomed their third child in 2025.
