A woman who allegedly fired an assault rifle at Rihanna's mansion pleaded not guilty to attempted murder on Wednesday in Los Angeles, as dramatic details of the case continue to emerge.

Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, reportedly arrived in a Tesla on the afternoon of March 8 and fired about 20 rounds at the luxury Beverly Hills residence the superstar shares with rapper A$AP Rocky and their three children, according to the investigation.

Deputy District Attorney, Alexander Bott said Wednesday that Ortiz "put several lives at risk." The suspect, who remains in custody on bail set at $1.8 million, is due back in court April 8.

The "Umbrella" performer told police that in the past she had received threats via social media, although none had gone to this extreme.

The charges against Ortiz

The suspect, arrested hours after the incident, faces one count of attempted murder, ten counts of assault with a semi-automatic weapon, two counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling and another of shooting at a vehicle.

The woman could be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole if convicted.
