A white Florida woman was convicted Friday of manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a Black neighbor amid an ongoing dispute about children playing loudly outside her home. An all-white jury in Ocala found 60-year-old Susan Lorincz guilty after 2½ hours of deliberation, the AP reports. Lorincz faces up to 30 years in prison at sentencing. Lorincz had claimed self-defense when she fired a single shot with a .380-caliber handgun through her front door on June 2, 2023, killing 35-year-old Ajike « AJ » Owens. She told detectives in a videotaped interview that she feared for her life as Owens yelled and pounded on her door.
