<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Charges were filed this week against the woman accused of firing multiple shots at Rihanna&#8217;s Los Angeles home on Sunday while the singer was on the property. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ivana Lisette Ortiz, 35, was charged with 14 counts, including attempted murder, use of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and shooting into an inhabited dwelling, along with sentence enhancement, </span><a href="https://abc7.com/post/shooting-rihannas-house-ivana-lisette-ortiz-woman-accused-opening-fire-singers-la-home-expected-court/18699807/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">according to</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ABC7. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">If convicted on all charges, Ortiz could face life in prison.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ortiz’s public defender, Jamarcus Bradford, initially entered a not guilty plea on her behalf before withdrawing it to delay the arraignment until March 25. Her bail was initially set at $10 million but was later reduced to $1.875 million, the outlet noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Authorities allege Ortiz used an AR-style firearm and fired multiple rounds into the residence where Rihanna’s three children, her mother, and several staff members were inside. The singer and her partner, A$AP Rocky, were also on the property but in a separate building at the time of the shooting, NPR </span><a href="https://www.npr.org/2026/03/11/g-s1-113252/prosecutor-says-rihanna-family-were-home-when-woman-charged-with-attempted-murder-fired"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Bullets penetrated exterior walls but did not breach interior walls.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to LAPD, Ortiz allegedly drove to Rihanna’s residence from her home in Florida. Investigators are examining whether that travel indicates premeditation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;My understanding is the person drove here from Florida. How long they&#8217;ve been in the area &#8230; I don&#8217;t have that information,&#8221; LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said. &#8220;They&#8217;re working on that. That would be part of the whole motive, why the person came out here. We haven&#8217;t established a motive, we do know, and are aware of, social media posts that had been made that they&#8217;re looking into further.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a January social media video reviewed by authorities, Ortiz allegedly said, &#8220;Listen Rihanna, when you die God is taking me to my future.. yeah, she wants to kill me. Shut the [expletive] up.&#8221; </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Facebook profile believed to belong to Ortiz also included posts directed at the singer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This isn’t the first security incident involving Rihanna. In 2018, a man broke into her Hollywood Hills home and remained inside for several hours. Eduardo A. Leon later pleaded no contest to felony stalking and vandalism charges and a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest. He was sentenced to probation. </span></p>
