Rihanna Home Shooter Declared Mentally Fit for Trial

Ivanna Ortiz, a 36-year-old Florida woman, has been ruled mentally competent to stand trial by a Los Angeles judge. The ruling on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, follows psychiatric evaluations regarding her role in a shooting incident earlier this year. Ortiz faces severe charges, including attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and firing at an inhabited dwelling. She has entered a plea of not guilty to all counts.

The incident, which targeted the residence of music stars Rihanna and ASAP Rocky, resulted in no injuries. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman emphasized the danger of such reckless violence, stating it will be prosecuted fully. ASAP Rocky described the unprovoked shooting as a disruptive event that impacted his sense of peace and happiness.
