“‘Difficult’ is putting it very mildly,” Dias said. “The amount of emotions, the disgust, the anguish, the pain – to sit there literally feet away from the woman who took my daughter’s life … I have to dig deep within my strength, my faith to hold it all together.”
In the video of her first interrogation, shown to jurors Wednesday, Lorincz tells detectives she’d previously argued with Owens about her children playing loudly and leaving toys outside her home. But she tells police the situation escalated on June 2, 2023, after she confronted the children about the noise and threw their roller skates.
Lorincz tells detectives she called the police that evening to report neighborhood children had threatened to kill her. She says dispatchers told her to lock her door and officers were on the way.
But before police could arrive, Lorincz tells detectives, Owens began “banging on my door” and saying, “I’m going to kill you.”
“She bangs so hard it looked like my door was going to fly off,” Lorincz said in the video. “And I just, I panicked and I was like, ‘Oh my god, she’s really going to kill me this time.’ You know? And so, I don’t even remember picking the gun up, I just remember shooting.”
