A Florida woman who deputies said shot a neighbor through the front door of her Ocala-area apartment, killing that woman, has been arrested, according to authorities.
A Florida woman who deputies say shot a neighbor through the front door of her Ocala-area apartment has been arrested, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.A Florida woman who shot through her front door, killing her neighbor, amid an ongoing fight over where her children were playing, was arrested Tuesday night on several charges stemming from the shooting, Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods told FOX 35 in an exclusive interview.
"The whole time, we had only one side of the story. We know that she shot through the door, of course. On her side of the story, she made claims that her life was being threatened," Sheriff Woods told FOX 35 News. When the boy and his 12-year-old brother went to talk to Lorincz about what happened, she opened the door and swung an umbrella at them, the sheriff's office said.
"While we are relieved that the woman apparently responsible for the tragic killing of Ajike ‘AJ’ Owens has been arrested, we are no less concerned that accountability has taken this long because archaic laws like Stand Your Ground exist." the statement read. Sheriff Woods said it will now be up to the State Attorney's Office to decide whether to pursue formal charges against Lorincz.
