Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, accused of firing shots at Rihanna's Los Angeles home, was previously involuntarily committed under Florida's Baker Act and lost custody of her child. The incident occurred on Sunday, with Rihanna present alongside her three children. Authorities booked Ortiz on attempted murder charges the following day.
Ivanna Lisette Ortiz faces attempted murder charges after allegedly firing multiple rounds into Rihanna's Los Angeles residence from her vehicle on Sunday. According to sources, Rihanna was at home with her three children at the time, though A$AP Rocky was not present.
Court documents reveal that Ortiz had a history of mental health issues. Prior to 2023, she was involuntarily committed under Florida's Baker Act, a state law allowing for up to 72-hour psychiatric holds. Her ex-husband's attorney, Hal Roen, described Ortiz as "articulate" and "very believable," noting, "If you sit down with her, she's very convincing. But she does bizarre things."
In April 2024, a Florida judge awarded full physical custody of the couple's 10-year-old child to Jed Nikko Valdez Sangalang, barring Ortiz from all contact, including in-person, phone, video, text, email, or third-party communication. During sworn testimony, Ortiz admitted to the prior Baker Act commitment but claimed it stemmed from false accusations. The judge cited "concerning testimony" about her mental health and ordered a social investigation.
The custody ruling also referenced Ortiz's attempt to obtain a domestic violence injunction against Sangalang. However, one incident she cited led to her own arrest for domestic violence, during which she was on probation. The judge expressed concern that Ortiz might not return the child to the father.
Ortiz was booked on Monday following the shooting incident.
