Racist slurs and previous altercation led to fatal shooting of Florida neighbor

Susan Louise Lorincz, a white Florida woman, has been charged with manslaughter with a firearm, culpable negligence, battery, and two counts of assault for shooting and killing her Black neighbor, Ajike Owens. Lorincz admitted to calling Owens' children racist slurs in the months leading up to the shooting, including the "n-word" and "Black slave." Owens' mother will now raise her four young grandchildren. Lorincz claimed she purchased the firearm for protection after an altercation with Owens. Many details about the case remain unclear, and authorities delayed Lorincz's arrest for several days while looking into a possible "stand your ground" claim.
