Ivanna Ortiz, 35, faces up to life in prison after being hit with 14 felony charges, including one count of willful, deliberate, and premeditated attempted murder, for allegedly shooting at Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home on March 10, 2026.
Key Details of the Incident and Charges
- What happened: Ortiz drove up to Rihanna’s residence, fired multiple rounds from a semiautomatic weapon at the house and a neighboring property, then fled. Eight people were home at Rihanna’s, including Rihanna (38), A$AP Rocky, their three young kids (RZA, 3½; Riot, 2½; Rocki, 6 months), Rihanna’s mother, and two employees. Two others were at the neighbor’s.

Background on Ortiz
Florida resident with prior arrests. A possible Facebook profile linked to her shows Rihanna references, like a Feb. 23 post saying, “say something to me directly instead of sneaking around.” No confirmed personal connection to Rihanna.
Rihanna’s team described it as “terrifying” but confirmed everyone is safe. This fits a pattern of high-profile celebrity home targeting cases, emphasizing how premeditated shootings in populated areas escalate risks even without hits.
