A 35-year-old woman was criminally charged on Tuesday in connection with a shooting at superstar Rihanna‘s Beverly Hills home.
L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said that prosecutors charged Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, with attempted murder, 10 counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearem, and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling.
Hochman said the gunfire struck Rihanna's home, a camper on the property, and another nearby home.
He added that the singing superstar, her partner A$AP Rocky, their three small children, and her mother were all on the property at the time of the shooting.
If convicted, Ortiz faces up to life in state prison. Her bail has been set at just under $1.9 million.

Earlier this week, Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home was the target of a shooting. The singer was inside the home at the time of the shooting, which was reported at 1:15 p.m. PT on March 8.
According to the Los Angeles Times, a woman allegedly fired several shots at the house from her white Tesla across from the property’s gate; one round penetrated its wall. Bullet holes were also spotted in the gate to Rihanna’s home and an RV that was parked outside.
There were no injuries, L.A. Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jonathan de Vera said.
After the incident was reported, police located the white Tesla, which had fled south on Coldwater Canyon Drive.
A female suspect, eventually identified as Ortiz, was arrested at a Sherman Oaks shopping center 30 minutes after the 911 call was placed.
LAPD spokesperson Armen Arias told the Times that they found “an assault rifle and seven casings” inside Ortiz’s vehicle. She was booked for attempted murder with bail set at over $10 million.
Rihanna lives in the Beverly Hills home with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, and their three children, RZA, Riot, and Rocki.
