After Owens was allegedly standing on the Killer’s porch and shot through the woman’s front door after knocking she has pled not guilty to manslaughter with a firearm and assault and is still being held at the Marion County Jail of more than a hundred and fifty thousand dollar Bond prior to the incidents
Leading up to the shooting per ABC News here it is body camera video revealing new details about the feud between two Florida neighbors that turned deadly she calls constantly Susan Lawrence making multiple calls to authorities about ajika AJ Owens and her children for more than a year before she was charged with
Shooting and killing her because the lady across the street on the phone Hit Me With a Song in February of last year Susan Lawrence alleging Owens picked up a no trespassing sign and threw it at her as she walked her dog on Lawrence’s property Sheriff deputies asking Owens for her side I
Took the sign up and I threw the sign I literally picked the sign up in April Lauren’s accusing Owens and her children of stealing her mail calling her names and trespassing okay so what’s going on okay okay young ladies would just keep coming by and think it’s hysterical while I’m working
To bring their animals and scream while I’m on oh this woman was a menace to everyone in that Community okay based on the narrative that we now have and remember what happened during the day that she killed her own neighbor according to Undisputed facts Undisputed testimony contextualized in the police report
This killer literally threw objects at children the children doing what they were told to do which is don’t argue with adults you come to me they went to their mother based on the guidance the proper guidance she gave them the mother hears this from their children the nine-year-old
Comes with the mother mother knocks on the door to have an adult conversation which anyone would have done and without provocation is shocked and killed in front of her own baby let’s put up the screenshot now w-e-s-h-2 news has obtained a new body cam footage from the night Owens was
Killed and the outlet explains the footage reveals a lot some of it is hard to watch when deputies arrived the Killer was still inside of her home as deputies can be heard ordering it’s the Marion County Sheriff’s Office come outside with the hands up moments later she was in fact in
Handcuffs as you can see there the only time she can be heard in the footage is when she’s handcuffed and when deputies gather her information she’s being placed in the patrol car show me your hands show me your hands turn around where’s your hands anybody
Else in the house a deputy said in the body cam video can I just get my water the killer asked the deputy no you are uh no you are not under arrest you are being detained a deputy said in the body cam video okay I understand that the killer says
A new video also shows the moment Owen’s kids find out their mother did not survive w-e-s-w-e-s-h-2 news chose not to show that video I respect Chihuahua’s family let me give you details according to Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods deputies at about 9 00 pm on Friday June 2nd responded to a call regarding
Alleged trespassing at an apartment complex while en route to the address deputies learned that there have been shots fired upon arriving at the scene they located an adult female victim laid identified as Owens suffering from a gunshot wound in a meter began rendering aid until Medics could reach the area unfortunately she
Succumbed to her own to a wound and was pronounced dead prior to the shooting the children of the victim were playing in a field near their home when the shooter yelled at them to quote get off her land and called them racial slurs attorney being Crump who was representing the
Oldest family said in the press release additional reports state that the killer also allegedly threw a roller skate at one of them talking about the kids following the arrest Owen’s mother Pamela Diaz spoke about all her grandchildren have lost with the death of their mother and she spoke about the
Burden they now carry Owen’s nine-year-old was with his mother when she was killed in his soul in his heart is his fault that his older brother his baby sister and his baby brother as well as himself but never see the mother again because he went home and told his mother with this woman
Did to him who wants that burden as an adult who wants that burden nobody this nine-year-old nine is obviously a very young age but cognitive enough to understand how heavy how severe how final death is to the grandmother um you become now the personification of two people of your daughter
And of the grandmother that they’ve always known to the nine-year-old this is not your fault this is a cause and effect relationship of the kind of nation that we’re in the kind of indoctrination that leads to racist evil people like the woman who killed your mother and I will offer this as well
My faith background teaches me that it does not end with this physical body that there’s so much more to life than the now all right watch me thoughts I I believe I was wrong with you guys when this story first broke I was just obviously just tragic um
The footage in the aftermath where this woman is sort of resigned to the fact that she just committed one of the most heinous acts she didn’t even put up a fight she knew that she had done something just completely horrible um and tragic I don’t know how a family
Picks up the pieces after something like this uh obviously our thoughts are with the loved ones but yeah man um I I don’t know how we move past this kind of thing in in a country where we’re producing people with this level of hate for their
Neighbors you know this isn’t even uh an encounter with some stranger out and about like these are the people that you’re in community with that’s right and you’re having these kind of conflicts that lead to death oh man I I have to believe um that we can do much better than this
As a people and how we treat each other and how we encounter each other you know should never come to this with the people that you live with um that you live amongst uh we got to be better than this that’s right we will follow this as it develops
