The woman accused of shooting at Rihanna’s home while she and her family were inside was hit with 14 charges, including for attempted murder, on Tuesday.
In a press conference on Tuesday, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman announced that Ivanna Lisette Ortiz had been charged with one count of attempted murder, ten counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, and three counts of shooting into an inhabited dwelling or camper.
Hochman said the 35-year-old woman could face up to life in state prison if convicted.
Although Rocky (real name: Rakim Mayers) was previously reported to have not been home at the time of the shooting, the LA DA stated in the press conference that Rihanna, 38, and Rocky, 37, had been in an airstream trailer on her property when Ortiz allegedly opened fire.
According to Hochman, Ortiz was charged with three counts of shooting into an inhabited dwelling because Rihanna’s property includes two dwellings, while Ortiz allegedly also shot at a neighbor’s home.
Ortiz made her first appearance in court on Tuesday, though she did not enter a plea, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Ortiz, who was dressed in a blue jumpsuit for her appearance, had her arraignment scheduled for March 26.
The Los Angeles DA announced in his press conference that Ortiz is being held on a $1,875,000 bail.
In the event that she should make bail, Ortiz was also ordered to stay away from Rihanna and Rocky.
‘I want everyone in this county to understand that you should absolutely feel safe in your residence, in your neighborhood and in your community,’ Hochman said. ‘When someone comes into our community and decides to shoot it up, that person will be arrested and held fully accountable for their actions.’
Ortiz — who hails from Orlando, Florida — is accused of firing at Rihanna’s property at the neighboring home with an AR-15–style rifle from her white Tesla.
Audio obtained by the Daily Mail of the 911 dispatch call regarding the shooting paints a tense picture of the hunt to find the vehicle, which was reportedly tracked down thanks in part to how dirty it was.
Hochman said that Ortiz had fled to Beverly Hills before ending up in Sherman Oaks, where she was arrested hours after the shooting.
