Rihanna house shooting: Accused charged with attempted murder
India, March 11 -- Ivanna Ortiz, 35, the woman accused of opening fire at singer Rihanna's residence in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, has been charged with 14 felony counts, including attempted murder, according to a criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE magazine. Prosecutors say the act was "willful, deliberate, and premeditated". Rihanna, rapper A$AP Rocky, their three kids and her mother were all at home when the shooting took place, a prosecutor said.
The complaint also states that Ortiz faces 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper. If found guilty on all charges, she could face life in state prison. Her arraignment is scheduled for March 25.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J Hochman condemned the incident in a press release, stating that the accused "put lives at risk, and will be fully prosecuted." He said that while no one was injured, such violence will not be tolerated. He said, "Such shooters will find their next destination to be our jails and prisons."
Ortiz appeared in court on Tuesday with her lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Jamarcus Bradford, who initially entered a not guilty plea on her behalf but later withdrew it until the official arraignment later this month. Ortiz is also accused of firing at a neighbouring house where two people were present, which contributed to the number of felony charges against her.
Neither Rihanna nor her representatives have responded publicly to the incident so far.HTC...
