Ivanna Ortiz competency ruling and indictment in Rihanna/A$A

Overview

Ivanna Ortiz is facing multiple felony charges, including attempted murder and assault with a semiautomatic weapon, following a shooting at the Los Angeles residence of singer Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky. During the incident, Ortiz allegedly used an AR-15 style rifle to fire rounds at the property, striking a wooden fence, a neighboring residence, and an Airstream trailer where the couple was located. Shots also reportedly struck the exterior wall of a nursery where the couple’s children were staying.

Following the incident, criminal proceedings were suspended while Ortiz underwent psychiatric evaluations to determine her mental competency. While initial reports indicated at least ten shots were fired, later prosecutorial allegations stated that at least 20 rounds were discharged. Ortiz has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

On September 29, 2026, Judge Maria Cavalluzzi ruled that 36-year-old Ortiz is mentally competent to stand trial, officially reinstating criminal proceedings. Following this ruling, a Los Angeles County grand jury indicted Ortiz on 14 felony counts: one count of attempted murder, 10 counts of assault with an assault weapon, and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper.

Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott stated that the suspect allegedly targeted Rihanna, claiming ‘everyone else was collateral damage.’ Ortiz, an Orlando, Florida, native, remains in custody with bail set at approximately $2.6 million. If convicted, she faces a potential sentence of up to life in prison.
