  • Killer Mom Plans Countersuit Against Victim’s Family

    In a shocking turn of events, Susan Lorincz, the Florida woman currently serving a 25-year sentence for fatally shooting her neighbor Ajike “AJ” Owens, has announced plans to file a countersuit against Owens’ family. This move comes as the family pursues a wrongful death lawsuit against Lorincz, adding another layer of legal complexity and emotional distress to an already tragic case.

    A Troubling Legal Maneuver

    Lorincz, who killed Owens by firing a single shot through her locked front door in 2023, has filed court documents outlining her intent to sue Pamela Dias, Owens’ mother. Lorincz claims that Owens’ children were trespassing on her property and that one of them falsely accused her of throwing a skate. This alleged accusation, Lorincz claims, led to Owens confronting her at her door, resulting in the fatal shooting.

    In a handwritten letter, Lorincz asserts that “Ajike Owens and her children were trespassing” and that multiple “no trespassing signs” were visible. She also blames her former landlord for not properly securing her home. Lorincz intends to sue for slander, libel, and defamation, seeking over $50,000 in damages. It’s important to note that Lorincz has not yet formally filed this countersuit.

    Self-Defense Claims Amidst Renewed Attention

    Lorincz continues to maintain that she acted in self-defense, despite choosing not to testify during her trial. She described Owens’ confrontation as aggressive, stating, “Ms. Owens did not knock politely and speak reasonably on June 2, 2023. She pounded and screamed profanities like a lunatic.” This claim comes as the case has gained renewed attention following the release of Netflix’s documentary, “The Perfect Neighbor.”

    The documentary revisits the shooting, shedding light on Lorincz’s alleged hostility towards neighborhood children and reigniting the debate surrounding Florida’s controversial “stand your ground” laws. The case highlights the complex issues of racial bias, self-defense laws, and the devastating consequences of neighborhood disputes.

    The Ongoing Legal and Emotional Fallout

    Susan Lorincz is currently serving her sentence at Homestead Correctional Institution in Florida. The proposed countersuit adds another layer of legal contention to a case that has already had profound and tragic consequences for the Owens family. The family is understandably angered by this development, especially as they continue to grieve the loss of Ajike Owens and seek justice.

  • ‘Perfect Neighbor’ Killer Seeks to Sue Victim’s Kids

    The tragic story of Ajike “AJ” Owens, a Black mother of four from Ocala, Florida, continues to unfold in disturbing ways. Following her conviction for manslaughter in the shooting death of Owens, killer Susan Lorincz is now reportedly planning to sue Owens’ children and the owner of the quadplex where the incident occurred.

    A Shocking Counterclaim

    Lorincz, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison, has filed a counterclaim in response to a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Owens’ mother, Pamela Dias. According to Newsweek, Lorincz wants to sue Dias, three of Owens’ children, and the quadplex owner for slander, libel, and defamation of character, seeking damages exceeding $50,000. This move comes despite the fact that the children involved range in age from 3 to 12 at the time of the shooting, with the oldest now only 15.

    Lorincz’s filing claims that Owens and her children were trespassing and that Owens had threatened her multiple times. However, attorneys for Owens’ estate state that sheriff’s deputies found no evidence to support Lorincz’s claims. Lorincz also alleged that Owens’ children had falsely accused her of hitting one of them with a roller skate, a statement she claims Israel Owens recanted to prosecutors.

    The ‘Perfect Neighbor’ Narrative

    The Netflix documentary ‘The Perfect Neighbor’ shed light on the case, primarily using police bodycam footage and interrogation recordings. These recordings revealed that Lorincz had purchased two handguns after a prior confrontation with Owens and had “possibly” researched self-defense laws beforehand. This has led many to believe she may have been planning the encounter.

    Adding to the controversy, neighborhood residents reported that Lorincz frequently feuded with local children and their parents. Despite this, Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods characterized the shooting as a tragic result of an ongoing “feud” between Owens and Lorincz, a framing that critics argue unfairly shields Lorincz and perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

    A Continued Pattern of Blame

    Lorincz continues to maintain her narrative of being the victim, portraying Owens and others involved as aggressors. The core issue, however, remains her actions and the devastating consequences they had. The fact that she is now attempting to sue the grieving children of the woman she killed underscores a disturbing lack of remorse and a continued effort to shift blame.

  • Killer of Ajike Owens Threatens to Sue Children

    In a move that has shocked many, Susan Lorincz, the Florida woman convicted of fatally shooting her neighbor Ajike Owens, is now threatening to sue Owens’ children and mother for defamation. This latest development adds another layer of heartbreak to an already tragic case.

    A Shocking Countersuit Threat

    According to court documents, Lorincz, 61, claims she has been slandered, libeled, and defamed by the family of Ajike “AJ” Owens, the 35-year-old mother of four who was killed by Lorincz in June 2023. Lorincz was sentenced to 25 years in prison last year after being convicted of manslaughter in the shooting, which occurred after repeated disputes over Owens’ children playing in a shared grassy area.

    The tragic incident, which sparked national outrage and highlighted issues of racial tension and gun violence, has recently seen renewed public interest due to the Netflix documentary ‘The Perfect Neighbor.’ The film details the disturbing events leading up to Owens’ death and quickly became a top-streamed show.

    The Ongoing Legal Battle

    Owens’ mother, Pamela Dias, had previously filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Lorincz and the property owner, seeking damages exceeding $50,000 for the emotional, financial, and psychological devastation experienced by the family. In a surprising turn, Lorincz filed a response in September indicating her intent to countersue Dias, three of Owens’ children, and the same property owner for more than $50,000.

    While Lorincz has expressed this intention, court records show she has not yet formally filed the countersuit. It’s important to note that the initial investigation found no evidence to support Lorincz’s claims of trespassing or threats from Owens or her children. Lorincz, however, continues to maintain she acted in self-defense.

    • Susan Lorincz, convicted of manslaughter, seeks to sue Ajike Owens’ family.
    • Claims defamation by Owens’ mother and three children.
    • Seeks over $50,000 in damages.
    • Initial investigation found no evidence supporting Lorincz’s self-defense claims.
    • Owens’ estate attorney confirmed Lorincz’s statements were unsupported.
