The story of Susan Lorincz and the 2023 shooting of her neighbor, Ajike Owens, captivated America at the time. Now, thanks to Netflix’s The Perfect Neighbor documentary, the tragedy is back in the limelight.

The gripping documentary tells the story almost entirely through police body camera footage, including the events leading up to Owen’s death. It pulls back the curtain on Lorincz’s issues with Owens, a 35-year-old Black mother of four, and her children, who Lorincz claimed were continually causing trouble around her house.

In June 2023, Lorincz, then 58, shot and killed Owens through the door of her house. She was arrested and found guilty of manslaughter the following year.
