  • Rihanna, her partner A$AP Rocky, and their three young children were inside the residence during the shooting.
  • In addition to attempted murder, Ortiz faces 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an occupied dwelling and could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted.
