<\/div>\n

A Nigerian woman of four, Ajike Owens was shot dead by a white neighbour while she was trying to recover an iPad taken from her child in front of their home, in a housing complex, in Ocala, Florida, the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 35-year-old woman popularly called \u2018AJ\u2019 was killed in the presence of her 9-year-old son, according to a Twitter post made by a civil rights lawyer, Ben Crump, on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crump alleged that the Nigerian woman was shot by her 58-year-old woman neighbour who had complained several times about Owens\u2019 children playing outdoors, according to the Guardian UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US attorney also disclosed that the police have yet to make any arrest because of the state\u2019s \u2018stand your ground\u2019 rule, describing the murder as \u201cunjust killing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his own reaction, the Marion County sheriff, Billy Woods disclosed at a Monday afternoon press conference that the shooting seemed to be the culmination of a feud between the neighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woods added that deputies had been called to the address \u201csix to eight\u201d times in two and a half years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he could not confirm that Owens was attempting to retrieve an iPad when she was killed, but said the shooter had thrown a pair of skates towards Owens\u2019s children before the fatal confrontation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woods said, \u201cSomebody threw something at my child, I\u2019d be pissed off, What parent wouldn\u2019t be? Who wouldn\u2019t be upset at that, regardless of whether they intentionally threw it at them or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wish our shooter would have called us instead of taking actions into our own hands. I wish Mrs Owens had called us in the hopes we could have never got to the point in which we are here today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guardian UK said Woods did not identify the shooter\u2019s name, age or race, but added she was being \u201ccooperative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged patience from the community while the investigation continued, stating that not all the children who witnessed the incident had been interviewed yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not cold-hearted bastards, we\u2019re not going to interview children the night they possibly witnessed their mother being killed. We\u2019re going to wait. We have to rely on professionals and expert counsellors to sit down with them, [but] I\u2019m here to assure the family and the friends that my office is going to do everything to bring justice,\u201d Woods added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report further revealed that the incident happened as several children were playing on the grass in front of a duplex building at the development, according to neighbours who spoke to the Ocala Star-Banner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said a female resident emerged from one of the units, threw something towards the children, scooped up an iPad and retreated inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the children told Owens what happened, the neighbour said, and she went to the woman\u2019s door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe confronted her and, according to the one side, there was a lot of aggressiveness from both of them, back and forth, whether it be banging on the doors, banging on the walls and threats being made,\u201d Woods said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd then, at that moment, it\u2019s when Owens was shot through the door.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
