A family representative said the victim’s four children were still in counseling and now it was up to the court to impose the maximum penalty.

Ben Crump, an attorney for the victim’s family, said they were “profoundly grateful” for the guilty verdict.

“AJ Owens was a devoted mother whose life was tragically cut short, leaving her children, including a young son who witnessed this horrific act, to carry the burden of her loss,” he said in a statement.

“While nothing can erase the pain they’ve endured, today’s decision sends a clear message that senseless violence will be met with accountability.”

After the verdict, a member of the defense team, Amanda Sizemore, declined to comment.

After deliberating for about half an hour, jurors asked to rehear two 911 calls Lorincz made that night. In one from before the shooting, Lorincz told a dispatcher she was “really scared,” with little emotion in her voice. “Are you or anyone else in danger right now?” the dispatcher asked. “I locked my door,” she responded.
