Florida's Susan Lorincz Sentenced to 25 Years for Killing Unarmed Neighbor Ajike Owens
Nov 25, 2024, 10:14 PM
Susan Lorincz, a 60-year-old white woman from Ocala, Florida, was sentenced on Monday to 25 years in prison for the fatal shooting of her unarmed neighbor, Ajike "AJ" Owens, a 35-year-old Black mother of four. Lorincz, who had a history of racist behavior, was convicted in August 2024 of first-degree felony manslaughter with a firearm for the June 2023 incident. She fired a single shot from her .380-caliber handgun through her locked front door, killing Owens during an ongoing dispute over Owens's children, whom Lorincz had reportedly criticized for being boisterous. The case garnered national attention, igniting discussions on gun violence, racial tensions, and reigniting debates around "stand your ground" laws in the United States.
