Ivanna Ortiz Loses Child Custody After Rihanna Home Shooting Charges
A Florida judge has banned Ivanna Ortiz from having any contact with her child. Ortiz is the woman charged with shooting at Rihanna's Los Angeles home with an AR-15-style weapon in March.
A Florida judge has completely cut off Ivanna Lisette Ortiz from her child after she was charged with shooting at Rihanna's Beverly Hills mansion. The judge left no room for exceptions in the custody ruling.
Ortiz faces serious criminal charges in Los Angeles. She's accused of using an AR-15-style weapon to shoot at the pop star's home on March 8th. Police responded to reports of gunfire at 1:21 p.m. that day.
Prosecutors charged Ortiz with 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an occupied building. She pleaded not guilty through her public defender. If convicted on all charges, she could face life in prison.
Ortiz is being held on $10.2 million bail. Police have not revealed why she targeted Rihanna's home. Court records show Ortiz had previously been involuntarily committed for mental health issues and had already lost custody of her then 10-year-old child before this incident.
Social media posts believed to be from Ortiz's accounts showed multiple references to celebrities including Rihanna.
This shows how serious criminal charges can affect family relationships. Courts often remove children from parents facing violent crime charges to protect the kids' safety and wellbeing.
Ortiz's criminal case continues in Los Angeles courts. The custody ruling remains in effect until further court review.
