A white Florida woman has been charged with shooting and killing her Black neighbor after calling the victim’s children by racist slurs in the months leading up to the slaying, according to an arrest report released Thursday.
Susan Louise Lorincz, 58, admitted to detectives that she called the children “the n-word.” One child told deputies that the night of the shooting, Lorincz “came out of her house and gave the children the middle finger” and also said this: “Get away from my house, you Black slave,” according to the report.
The report from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office came out shortly before Lorincz made her initial appearance in court Thursday by video. She is currently being held without bond and has been charged with first-degree murder.
The victim’s family attorney, Ben Crump, released a statement expressing his condolences and calling for justice. “This is a tragedy that should never have happened,” Crump said. “We must continue to fight for justice and an end to the racism and hate that has plagued our country for far too long.”
The case is still under investigation and no further details have been released.
