A Los Angeles County grand jury has indicted 36-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz on 14 felony counts, including attempted murder, following a shooting at the Beverly Hills-area home of music stars Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. Prosecutors allege Ortiz drove to the property and fired several rounds from a semiautomatic weapon into the residence, striking an on-site trailer. Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and their children were inside the home during the gunfire, but no injuries were reported. Ortiz was arrested shortly after the incident and was initially held on $1.8 million bail. Court-ordered psychiatric evaluations subsequently declared her mentally fit to stand trial. The grand jury indictment allows prosecutors from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office to bypass a preliminary hearing and move the criminal proceedings directly toward trial. Charges also include multiple counts of assault with a firearm and shooting at an occupied dwelling.
