A 35-year-old single mother of four, Ajike “AJ” Owens, was fatally shot through a door in Ocala, Florida on Friday night. Susan Louise Lorincz, 58, has been arrested and charged with manslaughter with a firearm, culpable negligence, battery and two counts of assault.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office said that Lorincz was upset because Owens had approached her home, knocked on the door multiple times, and demanded that Lorincz come outside to settle a dispute. The two had been engaged in a 2½-year dispute, according to Sheriff Billy Woods.

Neighbors have come forward to say that Lorincz has a history of harassing area children and using racial slurs against them. The sheriff’s office has responded to calls concerning the ongoing “neighborhood feud” about a half dozen times since January 2021.

Owens will be laid to rest on Monday. Her family’s lawyers have released a statement expressing their grief and calling for justice.

The incident has sparked outrage in the community, with many calling for Lorincz to be held accountable for her actions. The case is still under investigation and Lorincz is currently being held in the Marion County Jail.
