- Susan Lorincz, a 60-year-old White woman, is on trial for manslaughter in the shooting death of Ajike 'A.J.' Owens, a 35-year-old Black woman, in Ocala, Florida.
- Lorincz claimed she fired a shot through her door at Owens because she was in fear for her life, but Owens' mother disputes this, saying Lorincz was intent on harming her daughter.
- The dispute between the two women was over the children of Owens, who would often play near Lorincz's home, and Lorincz claimed she felt harassed by them for three years.
- Lorincz said she was not trying to kill Owens, but was just trying to get her to 'go away', and that she was in a state of panic and distress at the time of the shooting.
- Owens' mother, Pamela Dias, believes Lorincz was motivated by a desire to harm her daughter and her family, and that she has no regard for human life.
- The jury is composed of six White people and two alternates, and the trial is expected to last all week.
- Lorincz faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of manslaughter, and the state attorney's office considered filing a second-degree murder charge but decided there was insufficient evidence to prove Lorincz had 'hatred, spite, ill will or evil intent' towards Owens.
