Woman Accused of Shooting at Rihanna’s Home Is Mentally Fit for Trial, Judge Says
Judge Maria Cavalluzzi ruled after psychiatric evaluations, sending Ivanna Lisette Ortiz back to regular criminal court on attempted murder and related felony charges.
- On Tuesday, Judge Maria Cavalluzzi found Ivanna Lisette Ortiz mentally competent to stand trial in Los Angeles County for the March shooting at the Beverly Hills-area home of Rihanna and Rocky.
- Prosecutors allege that on March 8, Ortiz pulled up in a Tesla, pointed an AR-15 style rifle out the window, and sprayed at least 20 bullets toward the property and a neighboring house.
- Investigators found bullet holes in an Airstream trailer and the exterior wall of the second-floor nursery where three children were with their nanny; no one was injured during the incident, authorities said.
- Having pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other felony charges, Ortiz has been returned to the regular criminal court process following the competency ruling.
- Public records indicate the defendant had been a licensed speech pathologist for more than a decade, though authorities have not discussed a motive or connection between the Orlando Florida resident and the victims.
