Where Is Susan Lorincz Now? What Happened To ‘The Perfect Neighbor’ Killer
Lorincz was sentenced to 25 years for manslaughter after fatally shooting her neighbor during a dispute involving harassment and racial slurs against the victim's children.
- On June 2, 2023, Susan Lorincz fired a single shot through a locked door in Ocala, Florida, killing Ajike 'AJ' Owens, who was pronounced dead later that night after a child called 911.
- Neighbors say Lorincz had for two years repeatedly called 911 and complained about Owens' children, at times using racial slurs, and the confrontation followed the roller skate incident.
- On Aug. 13, 2024, Susan Lorincz's trial began and after a week jurors found her guilty of manslaughter; in November 2024 she was sentenced to 25 years at Homestead Correctional Institution.
- Pamela Dias and relatives say Owens' four children were left motherless and the two oldest boys have blamed themselves, family members say, while Bill Gladson called the case a "tragic reminder of the devastating consequences of gun violence."
- On Oct. 17, the Netflix documentary The Perfect Neighbor used police bodycam footage and won Sundance's top directing award, sparking debate over Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law.
