"Prosecutors said the couple's three children, Rihanna's mother, two staff members and two of the singer's neighbors were all home at the time as well and listed as victims in the complaint."
"L.A. County Deputy Dist. Atty. Alex Bott argued Ortiz is a threat to public safety, saying she allegedly plotted the attack in advance and fired off roughly 20 rounds in Rihanna's neighborhood."

Prosecutors highlighted the potential for multiple homicides due to the nature of the attack. Ortiz remains in jail with a bail set at $1.8 million, and her request for a lower bail was denied by the court.
