VERDICT WATCH: Neighbor Feud Killing Trial - FL v. Susan Lorincz - Day 4

Fifty-eight-year-old Florida woman Susan Lorincz was charged with manslaughter after admitting to shooting her neighbor, 35-year-old Ajike Owens, in June 2023. Lorincz reportedly called police seven times in one year to complain about Owens' children playing near her home. The feud between Lorincz and Owens turned deadly when Owens went to speak with Lorincz about a dispute involving her children. Lorincz said she shot Owens through her front door in self-defense. She was charged with first-degree manslaughter after authorities determined there wasn't sufficient evidence to charge her with second-degree murder. She faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

[@pennyc11]

She really did not belong in this neighborhood. It is terrible that this had to happen to make her move out. It really does disprove that stereotype that those of African decent are super aggressive and violent. I have little doubt that mom was mad. To say she was going to erase the woman was clearly untrue. She was a mother and the woman told the child to go tell his mother. For the mother to ignore her child's plea would be neglect. I think she did knock on the door regular. When she got no response? She knocked harder thinking maybe the woman had her tv volume high or was in another room. Shooting at your front door is unimaginable. She didn't mention she had the ability to look outside from her sliding glass door if she wanted to see what the woman wanted. Yet, based on her earlier behavior? She knew the woman wanted to talk about the incident. At no time in the past was she physical with this woman. To make such an assumption is unrealistic. The old woman wasn't getting her way and used a gun to in an attempt to do so. She was trained in the proper way to use a gun so there is no excuse that she didn't imagine shooting straight into the door was not going to cause harm. Also, at no point did she warn the mother that she intended to use a gun to force her to leave. She gave the mother no opportunity to avoid being shot.
