Calls are growing for the arrest of a woman accused of shooting dead her mother-of-four neighbor after she complained about the victim's children playing outside.
The children of Ajike 'AJ' Owens were playing in a field near an apartment complex in Ocala, Florida, on Friday when her neighbor 'began yelling at them to get off her land and calling them racial slurs', renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump said.
The children then accidentally left an iPad behind after leaving the field, Crump explained, before going back to fetch it.
But the neighbor, a 58-year-old white woman, who was not named, had taken the iPad and threw it at one of Ms Owens' children, hitting the boy and cracking the screen, the attorney said.
The mother-of-four then marched across the street to speak with the neighbor after hearing of the incident.
The neighbor fired through the door, shooting Ms Owens. She later died at hospital from her injuries.
Police have so far made no arrests following Ms Owen's death. Although Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods has confirmed police know the identity of the shooter, he said authorities are working to determine what role the state's 'stand your ground' law might play in the incident.
Under Florida's 'stand your ground' law, people are essentially permitted to use deadly force if they feel their lives are in danger.

Does the decedent have a criminal record involving violence? That will all be researched.
A likely scenario. The problem is the white lady shooter has only one witness to testify. Herself. While the prosecution has 5-7 or 8 black children and maybe others as witnesses. To lie their asses off and exaggerate.
It is if the person on the other side is in the act of busting down the door.
I suspect that might be why there was no immediate arrest.
You never see them print an article that begins with “White Mom”.
You know when Crumpy the Clown gets involved, there’s a lot more to the $tory…
The iPad might be another witness of a sort. Forensic analysis might throw some kinks in the timeline, such as the exact time it was damaged.
But Crump is probably hiring a new witness who saw, or at least heard, it all...
BTW she threw skates at the kids. No mention of an ipad. The author completely misstated the stand your ground issue.
It would be nice if they got their facts straight (both the race-baiting Crump and the Yellow Journalism Daily Mail tabloid) but that isn’t completely relevant except for cost, I suppose.
Where. I don’t see the deep pockets here. It’s unlikely the shooter has millions
You might note my post 87. Unmentioned in this article, actually distorted, the SYG issue was the requirement that the sheriff make a determination if SYG applies in an incident before charging, necessitated a delay while investigating. He determined it doesn't as you suggest, and she has been charged
Yes, the Daily Mail is a tabloid and pretty much tends to throw things against the wall to see what sticks. It does feel like some critical information is missing here.
But whatever really happened, it’s very sad for those kids to lose their mom. :(
The same place Trayvon Martin's death was parlayed in millions. Lots of contributions via GoFundMe. Lawsuit settlement by the County. Millions of dollars pouring in from pleas for money on prime time leftist networks. Sales of gear in support: everything from t-shirts to commemorative statutes.
The usual stuff which has fueled racist support for Crump and company forever.
I get the merchandising and stuff but don’t see home the county or
police could even in crumps wildest dreams be responsible here. Just wondering where the deep pockets were cause crump
does nothing unless doe millions
He saw a chance and worked hard to exploit it. These chances are not common or often.
I want to know what the history of BOTH women is. Was there a reason for the shooter to be afraid of the victim?
Thank you for the update. The delay in arrest was understandable as police needed some time to determine the correct charges.
