The woman accused of firing 20 shots from a semi-automatic rifle at the gate of Rihanna's Los Angeles home has pleaded not guilty.
Ivanna Lisette Ortiz appeared in court on Wednesday to enter her plea.
Ortiz was charged with one count of attempted murder, 10 counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling.
The Umbrella singer, her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, their three young children, and Rihanna's mother were on the property at the time of the shooting.
Ortiz could face life in prison if convicted.
Assistant Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott called the incident "an extremely dangerous deliberate shooting in occupied homes", which lasted several seconds.
"The defendant drove to the victim's residence, positioned her vehicle, and fired approximately 20 rounds from an AR-style rifle into a residence where multiple adults and children were present," Bott declared.
"This was calculated conduct. She brought a loaded rifle, ammunition, and even a disguise in the form of a wig, which demonstrates planning."
Witnesses to the 8 March shooting reported seeing a white Tesla Model 3 with a temporary license plate fleeing the scene. A police helicopter quickly located the vehicle, leading to Ortiz's arrest.
Investigators later found six bullet holes in the vehicle gate at Rihanna's home, along with a seventh in a pedestrian gate, court documents seen by Rolling Stone confirmed. Inside the property, police found three bullet holes in a wooden fence covered by tall hedges. No one was injured.
Before the shooting, the licensed speech pathologist allegedly posted erratically on social media, addressing and tagging Rihanna directly.
"Listen, Rihanna. When you die, God is taking me to my future. You want to kill me. Shut the f**k up," she said in a YouTube video.
