OCALA, Fla. (AP) A Florida woman accused of fatally shooting her neighbor last week in the violent culmination of what the sheriff described as a 2-year feud was arrested Tuesday, the Marion County Sheriffs Office said.

Susan Louise Lorincz, 58, who is white, was arrested on charges of manslaughter with a firearm, culpable negligence, battery and two counts of assault in the death of Ajike Owens, who was Black, Sheriff Billy Woods said in a statement .

Authorities came under pressure Tuesday to arrest and charge the white woman who fired through her front her door and killed a Black neighbor in a case that has put Floridas divisive stand your ground law back into the spotlight.

Woods said that this case was not a stand your ground case but simply a killing.

When interviewed, Lorincz claimed that she acted in self-defense and that Owens had been trying to break down her door prior to her discharging her firearm. Lorincz also claimed that Owens had come after her in the past and had previously attacked her. Through their investigation including obtaining the statements of eyewitnesses detectives were able to establish that Lorinczs actions were not justifiable under Florida law, a statement from the sheriffs office said.

About three dozen mostly Black protesters gathered outside the Marion County Judicial Center to demand that the shooter be arrested in the countrys latest flashpoint over race and gun violence. The chief prosecutor, State Attorney William Gladson, met with the protesters and urged patience while the investigation continues.
