A Florida jury is currently hearing evidence in the manslaughter trial of Susan Lorincz, a 60-year-old White woman accused of fatally shooting an unarmed Black mother during a neighborhood dispute. The incident occurred last June when Lorincz fired through her front door, killing 35-year-old Ajike “AJ” Owens.
Lorincz is facing charges of manslaughter with a firearm and assault, pleading not guilty to the accusations. If convicted, she could potentially face up to 30 years in prison. The jury listened to testimony from Marion County Sheriff’s Detective Ryan Stith, the lead investigator in the case.
