News summary

Susan Lorincz, a 60-year-old white woman from Florida, was convicted of manslaughter for the fatal shooting of her Black neighbor, Ajike 'AJ' Owens, during a dispute over children playing outside her home. The all-white jury found Lorincz guilty after deliberating for approximately 2½ hours, concluding that her claim of self-defense was not justified as Owens posed no imminent threat. The incident occurred on June 2, 2023, when Lorincz shot Owens through her front door after a confrontation over noise, which involved Lorincz allegedly throwing items at the children. Prosecutors argued that Lorincz intentionally fired her weapon, while her defense maintained she felt threatened. The case highlighted issues of racial dynamics, as Owens' family expressed concerns over the lack of Black jurors. Lorincz faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, with sentencing yet to be scheduled.
