On June 2, 2023, at about 9:00 p.m. in Ocala, Florida, 35-year-old single mother Ajike ’AJ’ Shantrell Owens was shot in the upper chest and later died at a hospital. The shooting followed a dispute between Owens’ children, who had been playing in a nearby field, and their neighbor, Susan Lorincz. Earlier that day Lorincz reportedly yelled at the children and threw a roller skate at one child. After the children told their mother, Owens went to Lorincz’s home, knocked on the door multiple times and demanded that Lorincz come outside. With the door locked, Lorincz fired a .380-caliber handgun through the door; Owens’ 10-year-old son was standing beside her when the shot was fired.

Police were responding to a trespassing call at the same address when they received the 911 call about the shooting. Lorincz, 58 (later reported as 60), was arrested and charged with manslaughter with a firearm, culpable negligence, battery, and two counts of assault. The family remembered Owens as a devoted mother of four, ages about 3 to 12, and a GoFundMe was set up to help with funeral and living expenses.
