The children of the victim, identified as Ajike ?AJ? Owens, were playing in a field near an apartment complex in Ocala when attorney Ben Crump said an unidentified white woman, 58, ?began yelling at them to get off her land and calling them racial slurs.?
According to Crump?s statement, after the woman yelled slurs at Owens? children, they accidentally left an iPad behind, which the woman took.
When one of Owens? children went to retrieve it, she threw it, hitting the boy and cracking the screen. Owens walked across the street to speak to her neighbor after learning what happened, according to Crump.
?She knocked on the door, and at that point, the woman allegedly shot through the door, hitting AJ, who later died from her injuries,? Crump said.
