A$AP Rocky Says Beverly Hills Home Shooting 'Robbed' Family of Peace

His remarks underscore the emotional fallout as prosecutors pursue attempted-murder and gun charges that could carry a life term.

Overview

  • The shooter fired multiple rounds at the couple’s Beverly Hills residence in March while Rihanna, A$AP Rocky and their three young children were inside and no one was hurt.
  • Prosecutors charged 35-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz with attempted murder and a string of felony gun counts after investigators say they tracked a white Tesla and recovered an AR-15–style rifle, magazines and a wig.
  • Ortiz has pleaded not guilty, remains in custody, and faces a possible life sentence if convicted as the criminal case moves forward.
  • A judge rejected a defense challenge to Ortiz’s competency in mid-May and the case is proceeding through pretrial steps.
  • In a June 2 interview, A$AP Rocky described lasting trauma and heightened security needs for his family, a reflection of how the attack has turned private safety concerns into a public legal and emotional story.
