News summary

Susan Lorincz, a 60-year-old white woman from Ocala, Florida, was convicted of manslaughter for the fatal shooting of her Black neighbor, Ajike Owens, during a dispute over children playing outside. The all-white jury deliberated for 2.5 hours before reaching the verdict, rejecting Lorincz's claims of self-defense after she fired a shot through her front door, killing the 35-year-old mother of four. The incident stemmed from a long-standing feud, with Lorincz accusing Owens' children of trespassing and being a nuisance, while witnesses described Lorincz as harassing neighborhood children. Following the trial, the Owens family expressed a sense of justice, with Owens' mother stating, 'My heart is a little lighter,' despite the tragic loss. Lorincz faces up to 30 years in prison, with sentencing yet to be scheduled. The case highlights broader concerns about gun violence and its impact on communities.
