A public defender representing a Florida woman accused of opening fire on Rihanna's Westside home in March said mental health concerns could be an issue in the case. Ivanna Ortiz, the woman facing attempted murder charges for allegedly firing 20 shots at Rihanna 's Beverly Hills home, appeared in court Wednesday to fight her own lawyer's attempt to pause the case for a mental competency evaluation. Rihanna shooting suspect Ivanna Ortiz has her attempted- murder trial paused after a judge ordered a mental competency evaluation in Los Angeles court.

A judge refused Wednesday to send the case of a Florida woman who allegedly opened fire on singer Rihanna's Beverly Crest-area home - along with another nearby home - to mental competency proceedings, despite a request from the woman's attorney.
