Ocala woman accused of fatally shooting neighbor through door

The woman accused of shooting her neighbor to death on Friday was arrested Tuesday, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and attorneys for the victim.

Susan Louise Lorincz, 58, was arrested for manslaughter with a firearm, culpable negligence, battery and two counts of assault in the death of 35-year-old A.J. Owens.

According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, the incident began when Lorincz became angry that Owens’ children were playing in a field close to her home. She then threw a skate at Owens’ 10-year-old son, striking him on the foot. The boy and his 12-year-old brother went to Lorincz’s door, and she opened and swung at them with an umbrella, according to the sheriff.

The children went and told their mother, who then approached Lorincz’s door, knocking multiple times and demanding Lorincz come outside. Officials say that’s when Lorincz fired one shot through the door, striking Owens in her upper chest.

According to investigations, Lorincz claimed that she acted in self-defense and that Owens had been trying to break down her door and that Owens had “come after her in the past.”

“Through their investigation – including obtaining the statements of eyewitnesses who only came forward as late as yesterday – detectives were able to establish that Lorincz’s actions were not justifiable under Florida law,” a release from MCSO stated.

Lorincz will make her first appearance in court on Thursday, June 8, at 9 a.m., according to the Marion County Clerk of Court.

She died with her 10-year-old son standing next to her.
