Rihanna Home Shooting: Suspect’s Online Posts Emerge After Attempted-Murder Charge

Court records put Ivanna Ortiz’s bail at $1.875 million as she remains jailed.

Overview

  • Police say Ortiz, 35, drove to Rihanna’s Beverly Hills residence and fired multiple rounds from a semiautomatic weapon, and no injuries were reported.
  • Prosecutors charged her with attempted murder, 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling, a slate that could bring a life sentence.
  • Posts attributed to Ortiz include Facebook messages addressing Rihanna and a 60‑day YouTube prayer series referencing the devil and explicitly mentioning the singer.
  • TMZ, as cited by WBLS, reported Ortiz emailed her estranged husband demanding he renounce Rihanna, and he has since sought full custody of their child.
  • WBLS reported a $10.2 million bail figure that conflicts with court listings and multiple outlets citing $1.875 million; reports also note an AR‑15–style rifle and at least one bullet striking the home.
