Rihanna Home Shooting: Suspect’s Estranged Husband Seeks Full Custody After Email Surfaces

Custody filings spotlight a January email alongside a prior psychiatric hold.

Overview

  • Jed Valdez Sangalang filed for full custody and sole decision-making, submitting a January 26 message he says Ivanna Ortiz sent urging him to “renounce Rihanna.”
  • He says he learned of the Sunday shooting the next day from calls and emails, and he later had to explain the incident to their child after a classmate mentioned it.
  • Prosecutors have charged Ortiz with attempted murder and assault after multiple rounds were allegedly fired at Rihanna’s Los Angeles–area home.
  • Rihanna and her children were reportedly at the residence during the gunfire, while A$AP Rocky was not, and no injuries were reported.
  • Ortiz remains in custody as investigators review motive and background, with reports noting a prior psychiatric hold in Florida and an arraignment expected on March 25.
