TL;DR

Susan Lorincz, accused of shooting and killing her neighbor Ajike Owens in Florida, will not face murder charges but has been charged with manslaughter and assault. The state attorney stated that there was insufficient evidence to prove the existence of a depraved mind towards the victim at the time of the killing, which is required for second-degree murder charges. The shooting was the culmination of many months of incidents between Lorincz and Owens' family, as well as others in the neighborhood. Lorincz remains jailed in Marion County and faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of manslaughter.
