Civil rights leaders and ministers are demanding justice for a Black mother who was fatally shot in front of her son by a white neighbor firing through the door of her central Florida home
“You can’t kill our loved ones, just because of the color of their skin, just because they were living while Black,” Crump said. “We cannot let them kill our loved ones for just knocking on a door, for loving their children, while Black.”
Neighbors said Lorincz frequently called neighborhood children who played outside her home racial slurs and antagonized them, and that's what happened 10 days ago when she yelled at Owens’ children as they played nearby and threw a pair of skates that hit one of them, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
“We are going to stand our ground for the humanity of AJ,” Crump said. “We are going to stand our ground for justice for AJ.”“Your mother chose to stand in danger’s way for you,” Sharpton said. “That’s what mothers do. That is why we celebrate your mother.”Sharpton, a former candidate for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination, took particular aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who recently launched his own campaign for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
