Rihanna, A$AP Rocky Home Shooting Case: Woman Indicted
A Florida woman accused of opening fire at Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Beverly Hills-area home has been indicted on 14 felony counts, including attempted murder, the Associated Press reported. Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 36, allegedly fired at least 20 rounds toward the property in March, with bullets reportedly striking an Airstream trailer and the nursery wall. No one was injured. A Los Angeles judge ordered Ortiz to remain in custody on .6 million bail after another judge recently found her competent to stand trial. If convicted on all charges, she could face life in prison, AP reported.
