A 35-year-old woman charged with attempted murder after allegedlyfiring an assault-style rifle at the Los Angeles residence of the singer Rihannahas a prior arrest record for domestic violence, according to police documents.

Ivanna Ortizis accused of discharging approximately 10 rounds at the Beverly Hills property on Sunday afternoon. Rihanna, her partner A$AP Rocky and their three young children were unharmed in the attack. The gunfire capped off a string of troubling social media posts reflecting a growing obsession Ortiz had recently directed at the singer.

Los Angeles Police Department officers arrested the suspectshortly after the incident. Authorities allege she used an AR-15-style rifle to carry out the attack, firing from a vehicle parked across the street from the mansion before fleeing the scene.

This latest attempted murder charge is not her first run-in with police. Documents from the Orlando Police Department show officers arrested Ortiz for domestic battery in June 2023. The incident took place outside her Florida apartment during an escalating row with her ex-husband, named in the report as John Doe.​

The report states that Doe and Ortiz had arranged via text message for him to drop their child off at her residence. The exchange deteriorated when Ortiz warned him not to be late.

An officer who reviewed Doe's mobile phone documented that Ortiz sent a message reading: 'You'll be getting socked on the nose tonight.' Minutes later, she reportedly added: 'What's it going to be twin, your [sic] calling the shots tonight and I'm throwing punches.'

The officer noted that Doe made no retaliatory threats. He reportedly stated only his desire to raise their daughter peacefully.

When Doe arrived at the property, he began recording the encounter on his mobile phone. According to his statement, Ortiz opened the door and directed a derogatory slur at him, initiating a verbal dispute.

Doe instructed their daughter to leave with him and turned away, at which point Ortiz allegedly lunged for his device. Doe claimed he pushed Ortiz away after she missed the phone and lunged a second time. She reportedly fell to the ground, stood back up, and began throwing punches.

Doe told officers he pushed her away again and held her down while repeatedly asking her to stop, until a neighbour heard the commotion and intervened. Following the separation, Doe dialled 911, and responding officers noted a visible scratch on his face.
