Incident and Grand Jury Indictment
On March 8, 2026, Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 36, drove a white Tesla from Orlando to the Beverly Crest estate in Los Angeles. Police say she pointed an AR-15-style rifle out the window and fired at least 20 rounds at the gated property and a neighboring house. Bullets struck an Airstream trailer, the exterior gate, a wooden fence, and the wall of a second-floor nursery where the couple’s three children were present with a nanny. No one was injured.
A secret grand jury returned an indictment on June 18, 2026, unsealed in September. The indictment lists 14 felony counts: one count of attempted murder of Rihanna, ten counts of assault with an assault weapon, and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper. The indictment supersedes earlier charges filed in March.
Legal Proceedings and Charges
Ortiz appeared in Los Angeles County court in yellow jail attire. Her public defender entered a not-guilty plea on her behalf for all counts. A judge ordered her held on bail. Reported bail amounts differ: some filings list $2.6 million, while other reports state $2.65 million. Ortiz is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing in October 2026. If convicted on all counts, she faces life imprisonment without parole.
Official Statements & Responses
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman emphasized the seriousness of the crime, noting that shooting at an occupied home is “both reckless and dangerous.” Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott said Ortiz “wanted to kill Rihanna” and that everyone else was “collateral damage.” The district attorney’s office has not disclosed a motive and has not linked Ortiz’s prior work as a licensed speech-language pathologist to the incident.
