Who is Ivanna Ortiz? Speech pathologist arrested after allegedly firing multiple AR 15 gunshots at Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Los Angeles home

At the time of the shooting, Rihanna and her family were inside the residence. No injuries were reported, but the situation immediately triggered a major police response.

Authorities tracked the suspect’s white Tesla using police helicopters and located the vehicle in a parking garage in Sherman Oaks. Ortiz was detained without incident, and officers recovered the firearm from her car. She has since been booked on suspicion of attempted murder and is being held on bail set at more than $10 million.

Ivanna Lisette Ortiz is a licensed speech pathologist who has been living in Orlando, Florida. Public records show she was originally from Illinois before relocating to Florida.

Speech pathologists typically work with patients who have communication or swallowing disorders, often helping children or adults improve speech and language skills.

However, authorities say Ortiz has had several legal issues in recent years. Records show a bankruptcy filing in 2013 and a traffic citation for careless driving in 2021.

More concerning was a 2023 arrest linked to a domestic dispute with her ex husband during a custody exchange involving their children. According to an arrest affidavit from that incident, the situation reportedly escalated into a physical confrontation.

In the weeks before the shooting, several videos allegedly posted by Ortiz began circulating online. In one widely shared clip, she sits at a desk in what appears to be her home office and launches into an emotional rant about Rihanna. She claims the singer was stealing her thoughts, accuses her of jealousy and even suggests Rihanna appeared in her dreams.
