In February 2022, Florida deputies responded to a service call in which a white woman complained about Black children in her neighborhood playing near her property. Though deputies found the behavior innocuous, Susan Lorincz continued to call the police on the kids, fueling growing tension among neighbors. Then in June 2023, Ajike Owens went to Lorincz’s door to confront her after the woman allegedly threw a roller skate at her son. Within minutes, gunshots rang out—leaving one woman dead and another in custody. Detectives were left to determine whether this was a case of self-defense or a premeditated attack.
Note: The Perfect Neighbor begins streaming on 10/17.
The documentary The Perfect Neighbor, now streaming on Netflix, is shot almost entirely through police body-worn camera footage. It recounts Lorincz’s slow burn from Karen to killer and examines the racial disparity in the application of Florida’s Stand Your Ground law—asking whether the suspect was motivated by fear or by anger.
OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
