Home Charged With Attempted Murder"},"content":{"rendered":"<p> <br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative\" data-narration-container=\"true\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Charges were filed this week against the woman accused of firing multiple shots at Rihanna\u2019s Los Angeles home on Sunday while the singer was on the property.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<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\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">according to<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> ABC7.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">If convicted on all charges, Ortiz could face life in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Ortiz\u2019s 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 $1.875 million, the outlet noted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Authorities allege Ortiz used an AR-style firearm and fired multiple rounds into the residence where Rihanna\u2019s three children, her mother, and several staff members were inside. The singer and her partner, A$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\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><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>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">According to LAPD, Ortiz allegedly drove to Rihanna\u2019s residence from her home in Florida. Investigators are examining whether that travel indicates premeditation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cMy understanding is the person drove here from Florida. How long they\u2019ve been in the area \u2026 I don\u2019t have that information,\u201d LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said. \u201cThey\u2019re working on that. That would be part of the whole motive, why the person came out here. We haven\u2019t established a motive, we do know, and are aware of, social media posts that had been made that they\u2019re looking into further.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In a January social media video reviewed by authorities, Ortiz allegedly said, \u201cListen Rihanna, when you die God is taking me to my future.. yeah, she wants to kill me. Shut the [expletive] up.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">A Facebook profile believed to belong to Ortiz also included posts directed at the singer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This isn\u2019t 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/woman-accused-of-shooting-at-rihannas-l-a-home-charged-with-attempted-murder\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charges were filed this week against the woman accused of firing multiple shots at Rihanna\u2019s Los Angeles home on Sunday while the singer was on the property.\u00a0 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 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21641","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-current-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalgunowner.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
