Suspect in Rihanna Home Shooting Charged With Attempted Murder in 14-Count Case

Prosecutors say the premeditated attack endangered 10 people across two properties, with motive still under investigation.

Overview

  • Prosecutors filed a 14-count complaint, including attempted murder, alleging the shooting was willful, deliberate and premeditated.
  • The charges list 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper.
  • The district attorney said eight people inside Rihanna’s residence and two at a neighboring home account for the assault counts, and no injuries were reported.
  • A judge set bail at $1.8 million, appointed the public defender to represent Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, and postponed her arraignment to March 25.
  • LAPD says a motive has not been established as investigators review Ortiz’s travel from Florida and social-media posts; a law enforcement official told the Los Angeles Times that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky sheltered in a camper hit by gunfire.
