Rihanna shooting case: Woman pleads not guilty to attempted murder charges

The woman was charged with one count of attempted murder, ​10 felony ⁠counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three felony counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling.

Los Angeles: A Florida woman pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to the attempted murder of singer Rihanna after authorities ⁠said she fired shots from a semiautomatic weapon ⁠at the Grammy-winning musician's Los Angeles ‌mansion this month.

The ​woman, Ivana Lisette Ortiz, entered her plea in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Ortiz, from Orlando, Florida, was charged with one count of attempted murder, ​10 felony ⁠counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three felony counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling.

Her bail was set at $1.875 ⁠million. Ortiz, ‌35, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors accused ‌Ortiz of driving up to the front ⁠of Rihanna's home in the Beverly Crest neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon and ‌firing approximately 20 gunshots. Rihanna, ‌her partner A$AP Rocky and their three ‌young children were inside a trailer ‌on the property at the time, according to prosecutors. No one was struck by gunfire.

"This is the ⁠kind of ⁠conduct that easily could have resulted in numerous homicides," Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott told the court.

Ortiz fled the scene but was arrested a short time later in Los Angeles. Bott said she was ​found in a car with a rifle and ​a wig for ​a disguise.

Rihanna, singer of "We Found Love" and "Umbrella," has won nine ​Grammy Awards.
