According to prosecutors, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, their three children and others were inside their Los Angeles home when a woman reportedly fired at the home on Sunday.
Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, faces multiple felony counts, including attempted murder, following the incident. No one was injured.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were together in a trailer on the property while other family members and staff were inside the home at the time of the shooting.
Authorities allege that on March 8, at about 1:20 p.m., Ortiz drove up to the front of Rihanna’s home and fired a semiautomatic weapon multiple times at the property. Several people were on the musician’s property, as well as at a neighboring house, but no one was struck by gunfire.
Ortiz faces 14 felony counts, including 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an inhabited vehicle or dwelling.
While no official motive has been publicly confirmed by authorities, social media posts believed to be from Ortiz have circulated across multiple platforms and appear to express disdain for the pop star.
“Opening fire in any populated neighborhood is extremely dangerous, puts lives at risk and will be fully prosecuted,” Hochman said in a statement. “Thankfully, no one was injured in this shooting, but this careless violence will not be tolerated in our community. Such shooters will find their next destination to be our jails and prisons.”
