White Woman Shot Her Black Neighbor and Proceeded to Harass The Victim’s Children
58-year-old Susan Lorincz is now charged with armed manslaughter, two counts of assault, culpable negligence, and battery, according to Sheriff Billy Woods of Marion County. Lorincz admitted that she called the children of the Black neighbor she shot some racial slurs. A child of the victim stated that Lorincz kept on harassing them and giving them the middle finger. When Lorincz appeared in court, she wore a protective vest. The victim was identified as Ajike Owens.
Last Friday, a $150,000 bond for Lorincz was set by a judge for the charge of manslaughter and an additional $1,000 for each additional charge. Lorincz’s bond is now set for $154,000 in total.
