White Florida Woman Sentenced to 25 Years for Killing Nigerian Neighbor Through Door
Susan Lorincz, a white Florida woman, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for fatally shooting her Black Nigerian neighbor, Ajike “AJ” Owens, through a closed door in June 2023.
Lorincz was found guilty of manslaughter in August. The shooting occurred after a dispute over children playing near her home in Ocala, Florida. Owens, a 35-year-old mother of four, was unarmed and knocking on Lorincz’s door when she was shot.
Judge Robert Hodges called the shooting unnecessary, noting Lorincz was behind a locked door and had already called 911. Instead of remaining safe, she retrieved a gun and fired.
Neighbors accused Lorincz of frequently harassing local children and using racial slurs, which she denied. Owens’ family expressed their lasting grief, with her mother stating, “Our pain and suffering will last a lifetime.”
Though the maximum sentence was 30 years, the court deemed 25 years appropriate for the crime.
