A white Florida woman who fatally shot a Black neighbor through her front door during an ongoing dispute over the neighbor's boisterous children was sentenced Monday to 25 years in prison for her manslaughter conviction.
By, the Florida woman who was found guilty of first-degree felony manslaughter with a firearm in August, was sentenced on 25 years in prison on Monday afternoon for fatally shooting her neighbor Ajike "AJ" Owens through a locked door in an incident that occurred on June 2, 2023 in Ocala. She was facing up to 30 years in prison.
Lorincz spoke during her sentencing hearing, where she recounted various disputes she had with Owens and her children prior to the shooting and claimed that she was "terrified" of Owens. She also denied calling Owens' children racial slurs. Pamela Dias, the mother of Ajike Owens, shared a victim impact statement during Monday's hearing, where she called for Lorincz to be held "fully accountable" for the fatal shooting.
"Our pain and suffering didn't end when we buried Ajike. Our pain and suffering didn't end when Susan was found guilty of manslaughter. Our pain and suffering won't end with today's sentencing. Our pain and suffering will last a lifetime," she added. Lorincz's legal team asked the judge to consider probation and said that Lorincz would benefit from PTSD treatment. The prosecution said that the department of corrections offers mental health treatment and argued that "PTSD was not a driving force" in this case.
Owens' family said that while the guilty verdict was an " important step," they are still seeking "justice."
