Judge Finds Rihanna Shooting Suspect Fit for Trial

Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 36, was ruled competent to stand trial after psychiatric evaluations, allowing proceedings to resume in the case over a shooting at Rihanna’s Los Angeles-area home. She pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging attempted murder and multiple counts involving assault with a firearm and shooting at occupied or inhabited property. Prosecutors allege Ortiz fired at least 20 rounds toward the residence and a neighboring home on March 8, while Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, their children and others were on the property; no one was injured. The competency ruling addresses Ortiz’s ability to understand the case and assist her lawyer, not her guilt or overall mental health.
