Florida woman charged with attempted murder in shooting outside Rihanna’s LA home

A 35-year-old Florida woman was charged Tuesday after shots were fired at the home of singer Rihanna and hip-hop star A$AP Rocky.

Ivanna Ortiz was identified by the Los Angeles Police Department as the woman arrested Sunday after some of the rounds fired Sunday from what authorities said was an AR 15-style rifle struck a gate and an Airstream travel trailer in the driveway. Witnesses told investigators that they saw someone in a Tesla driving back and forth before the shooting Sunday afternoon outside the nine-time Grammy winner’s home in Los Angeles’ Beverly Crest neighborhood.

She faces a charge of attempted murder and other counts, including personal and intentional discharge of a firearm, and assault on a person with a semiautomatic firearm. Arraignment was scheduled for Tuesday in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom.

Prosecutors planned to speak at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

The shooting was reported at about 1:30 p.m. at the home that Rihanna shares with hip-hop star A$AP Rocky and the couple’s three children. The LAPD confirmed to NBC4 Investigates that Rihanna, A$AP Rocky and the children were home at the time of the shooting, but no injuries were reported.

Two other people were inside the home at the time, according to police.

Ortiz, the only person in the car, was arrested about three miles away during a traffic stop in the west San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks, police said. She was in possession of a 30-round magazine, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said Tuesday.

Large-capacity magazines, generally those holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition, have long been restricted under California law. In 2016, Prop 63 added a further restrictions on the possession of large-capacity magazines in California.

Ortiz was jailed on $10 million bond.

About seven to nine rounds were fired at the home, located in the Santa Monica Mountains on LA’s Westside. The front gate of the property appeared to be riddled with bullet holes. The Airstream trailer parked in the driveway also was struck by gunfire, police said.

A$AP Rocky loves being a family man. In a new episode of The New York Times’ “Popcast,” the 37-year-old rapper opened up about fatherhood and the budding personalities of his and Rihanna’s three children.

Details about a possible motive were not immediately available.

Law enforcement records show Ortiz has a history with police in Florida. The Orange County, Florida Corrections Department confirmed Ortiz was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence battery in June 2023 and violation of domestic injunction three months later.

In a Feb. 23 post on Ortiz’s Facebook page, Rihanna was mentioned and tagged.

Representatives for the celebrity couple did not immediately respond to NBC News’ requests for comment.

The “Umbrella” singer and “HIGHJACK” rapper welcomed their third child in September.
