Rihanna, A$AP Rocky seen with heavy security in first joint outing since home shooting
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were seen in New York City together in their first joint public outing since a shooter made a terrifying attack on their California residence last week.
The couple were heavily flanked by security Tuesday as they exited a Manhattan building to a waiting SUV.
Rihanna wore cuffed jeans, snakeskin boots, a gray sweater and a leather jacket for the outing, while Rocky followed behind her in a black trenchcoat and a baseball cap.
Police confirmed to Page Six that the woman who allegedly shot at Rihanna’s home on March 8 is 35-year-old Ivanna Ortiz. She was arrested for attempted murder by the Los Angeles Police Department that day, and has since been officially been charged with attempted murder, and could face life in prison.
Ortiz appeared in a Los Angeles County courthouse for an arraignment and plea hearing on March 10, court documents reveal.
In addition to the attempted murder charge, she was given other charges, including nine counts of assault with a firearm, two counts of shooting into an inhabited dwelling, and one count of shooting at a motor vehicle.
Ortiz allegedly used an AR-15-style rifle to fire bullets at Rihanna’s $14 million home where she lives with A$AP Rocky, and their three kids — RZA, 3, Riot Rose, 2, and 5-month-old Rocki Irish Mayers.
Police responded to the report of the shooting at 1:21 p.m. that day and quickly took Ortiz into custody.
Photos taken at the nine-time Grammy winner’s home showed the singer’s front security gate was struck with bullets before the shooter ultimately hit an airstream trailer that had been parked in the couple’s driveway.
In a press conference held after Ortiz’s hearing, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman told reporters that Rihanna and Rocky were both inside the trailer when bullets began flying through the windshield.
It was also reported in court on Tuesday that the Florida native hit another home within Rihanna’s neighborhood. Two people were inside the property at the time of the shooting.
Page Six can confirm that Ortiz was previously arrested in her home state of Florida for careless driving, domestic violence and violating pretrial release conditions.
