Susan Lorincz was found guilty of killing her neighbor\u00a0\u00a0Ajike \u201cA.J.\u201d Owens<\/strong><\/p>\n

A white Florida woman was convicted last Friday (August 10) of manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a Black neighbor after the jury rejected her claims that she fired through a metal door in self-defense amid a dispute over children playing outside her home.<\/p>\n

The all-white jury in Ocala, Fla., found 60-year-old Susan Lorincz guilty after 2\u00bd hours of deliberation. Lorincz faces up to 30 years in prison at sentencing.<\/p>\n

She had claimed self-defense when she fired a single shot with a .380-caliber handgun through her front door on June 2, 2023, killing 35-year-old Ajike \u201cA.J.\u201d Owens.<\/p>\n

The confrontation was the latest in a dispute between the two neighbors over Owens\u2019 children playing in a grassy area near both of their houses.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Owens had come to Lorincz\u2019s home after Owens\u2019 children complained that Lorincz had allegedly thrown roller skates and an umbrella at them amid a long-running annoyance at their boisterous play outside.<\/p>\n

The family stated Monday that ‘they were at\u00a0 peace with the verdict two weeks\u00a0 ago\u00a0 ago. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
