Judge Rules Ivanna Ortiz Fit for Trial in Rihanna Case

Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, a 36-year-old resident of Florida, has been ruled mentally competent to stand trial by Superior Court Judge Maria Cavalluzzi. This ruling, issued on September 29, 2026, follows psychiatric evaluations and reinstates criminal proceedings that were previously suspended.

Ortiz is accused of opening fire on the Los Angeles residence of music superstar Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky on March 8, where she allegedly discharged over 20 rounds from a rifle. Although no injuries were reported, the bullets struck a trailer occupied by the couple and an exterior wall near a nursery where their young children were present.

Ortiz faces attempted murder charges along with more than a dozen other felony charges related to this incident.
