TL;DR

Susan Lorincz, the woman charged with manslaughter in the fatal shooting of her neighbor Ajike "AJ" Owens, pleaded not guilty. Lorincz waived her right to an arraignment and remains in custody on $150,000 bond. The shooting occurred on June 2 in Ocala, Florida, after a dispute over Owens' children playing near Lorincz's home. Lorincz was charged with first-degree manslaughter, culpable negligence, battery, and two counts of assault. Body camera footage revealed previous incidents where Lorincz complained about neighborhood children. Owens' family called for upgraded charges, but the state attorney stated there was insufficient evidence for second-degree murder.
