Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, is accused of firing 20 shots from an AR-15-style rifle at Rihanna's Beverly Hills-area residence while the singer, her partner A$AP Rocky, their three young children, and Rihanna’s mother were on the property. Ortiz was previously charged with one count of attempted murder, 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling.

The judge also barred Ortiz from practicing speech pathology.
