The woman accused of shooting at Rihanna’s Beverly Hills, Calif. home while the singer was inside has officially been charged with attempted murder.
Ivanna Ortiz appeared in a Los Angeles County courthouse for an arraignment and plea hearing on Tuesday, court documents reveal.
In addition to the attempted murder charge, she was given a slew of additional charges, including nine counts of assault with a firearm, two counts of shooting into an inhabited dwelling, and one count of shooting at a motor vehicle.
The 35-year-old showed up to court on Tuesday wearing a blue jumpsuit and styled her hair into two blonde braids for the appearance, reports the California Post.
The accused shooter did not enter a plea during her brief hearing. Her scheduled arraignment date has been set for March 26.
Ortiz is currently still being held on $1.8 million bond — a stark decrease from her original $10.225 million bond — and has been ordered to stay away from the “Work” hitmaker and her partner, A$AP Rocky.
Tuesday’s sighting marks Ortiz’s first public appearance since her arrest.
As we previously reported, Ortiz was arrested for attempted murder on Sunday after she allegedly fired 10 shots with an AR-15-style rifle at the singer’s California home. Rihanna lives at the residence with A$AP Rocky and their three kids — RZA, 3, Riot Rose, 2, and 5-month-old Rocki Irish Mayers.
The shooting was reported to have gone down in broad daylight around 1:21 p.m.
Photos taken at the nine-time Grammy winner’s home showed the singer’s front security gate was struck with bullets before the shooter ultimately hit an airstream trailer that had been parked in the couple’s driveway.
It was also reported in court on Tuesday that the Florida native hit another home within Rihanna’s neighborhood. Two people were inside the property at the time of the shooting.
In a press conference held after Ortiz’s hearing, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman told reporters that Rihanna and Rocky were both inside the trailer when bullets began flying through the windshield.
Rihanna’s mother and her three children were all inside the main house along with two staffers at the time of the shooting, the DA shared.
In light of the charges, Hochman said Ortiz could face a sentence of life behind bars.
Following her arrest, Page Six uncovered the suspect’s criminal record which revealed she was previously arrested for domestic violence for an alleged attack on her ex-husband.
