Body camera footage released by the Marion County Sheriff's Office shows multiple calls made by Susan Lorincz in the months leading up to the shooting death of her neighbor, AJ Owens. The calls involved complaints about children on private property and noise disturbances. Lorincz has been charged with manslaughter with a firearm and assault.
The family of A.J. Owens, who was killed by her neighbor in Ocala, wants to see the charges against the neighbor upgraded to murder, but State Attorney Bill Gladson announced that the charge would remain manslaughter. The family believes that Owens has not received equal protection from officials and civil rights attorney Ben Crump said that Owens is the latest in a pattern of Black women not being served by the justice system. Owens' family is now pursuing the maximum sentence for the official charge of manslaughter with a firearm, which is now filed.
