\n

\n After the sentencing of Susan Lorincz<\/a> \u2013 the White woman who fatally shot her Black neighbor, Ajike \u201cAJ\u201d Owens, through an apartment door in a dispute over Owens\u2019 children playing near her home \u2013 the victim\u2019s mother said her family could finally start to heal.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cNow, we truly can forge ahead on the journey of true healing that we so often speak about,\u201d Pamela Dias said after her daughter\u2019s killer was ordered in 2024 to serve 25 years in a Florida state prison.\n <\/p>\n

\n But that hasn\u2019t always come easy, Dias said this month.\n <\/p>\n

\n In a nation where firearms-related violence<\/a> \u2013 from escalated personal disputes<\/a> to attacks<\/a> involving race and even political assassinations<\/a> \u2013 continue unabated, Owens\u2019 family set out to foster its own healing by supporting other victims through fundraising for their near-term needs, pressing to change key gun laws and advocating for racial justice.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n \"Pamela<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n \u201cNo sentence or verdict can ever bring full peace or accountability for what was taken from our family,\u201d Dias told CNN. \u201cOur focus remains on honoring Ajike\u2019s legacy through justice, healing and community care.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Owens was killed June 2, 2023, when she knocked on Lorincz\u2019s door after her children \u2013 whose outdoor play had become a point of contention between the neighbors \u2013 told their mother the neighbor had thrown a pair of roller skates. Lorincz called police, then fired a gun through the front door of her apartment, killing Owens. She later claimed she feared for her life. A jury found Lorincz guilty of manslaughter<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI am so sorry I took AJ\u2019s life. I never intended to kill her,\u201d Lorincz said at her sentencing, adding she felt confused the night of the shooting because Owens was screaming. CNN has reached out to her attorney.\n <\/p>\n

\n Now, the core mission of the non-profit Standing in the Gap Fund<\/a>, which Dias started with the older sister of Owens\u2019 best friend, is to support families impacted by gun and racial violence and to fight for change.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhat began as a response to unimaginable tragedy has grown into a movement for justice, healing and collective care,\u201d cofounder Takema Robinson told CNN. \u201cWe believe the path to change is twofold: care for families today and reform for tomorrow.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n That includes offering \u201crapid-response grants to families\u201d after a gun attack, she said. The group also advocates for legislative change, including challenging so-called \u201cStand Your Ground\u201d laws<\/a> \u2013 like the one Lorincz tried to use \u2013 that let people use deadly force in self-defense in certain situations without fear of criminal prosecution; such measures have been linked<\/a> to increased homicide rates.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe\u2019re not just responding to violence; we\u2019re helping communities reimagine safety and belonging,\u201d Robinson said, adding the Standing the Gap Fund also invests in arts and storytelling \u201cas tools for justice and healing.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Operating as a donor-advised fund hosted by the Greater Washington Community Foundation, it aims to begin providing grants to families and political organizers by 2027, Robinson said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe Fund was born out of that need \u2013 to transform grief into action,\u201d Dias said. \u201cSupporting this fund isn\u2019t charity \u2013 it\u2019s community care in action. Together, we can ensure no one else has to stand in the gap alone.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n For Dias, honoring her daughter and healing her family means helping others as firearms continue to cut lives short every day, with more than 11,000 people killed by a gun so far this year in the United States, according to the Gun Violence Archive<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cEach new tragedy is a painful reminder of what we have endured,\u201d Dias said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Owens\u2019 death, at 35, called to mind other killings, particularly of Black people, over seemingly simple misunderstandings: Ahmaud Arbery<\/a>, 25, was chased and shot dead while jogging in 2020 in south Georgia by three White men now serving life sentences in the case; Trayvon Martin<\/a>, 17, was walking home from a Florida store when he was fatally shot by a neighborhood watch captain, an act for which the shooter was acquitted.\n <\/p>\n

\n More than two years after Owens\u2019 death, \u201cour healing is ongoing \u2013 for me, for our family, and for the broader community still reeling from such a violent and traumatic incident,\u201d Dias said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe\u2019re deeply aware that gun violence continues to devastate communities across the nation \u2013 and our story is part of that larger reality.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Dias hopes her daughter somehow knows her life continues to inspire action and community care and \u201cher name is now tied to change,\u201d the mother said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMy daughter and I would often have conversations about what we wanted out of life, and she would tell me, \u2018One day the world will know my name,\u2019\u201d Dias said. \u201cMy daughter\u2019s story reminds the world that love can be louder than hate. We carry that love forward in everything we do \u2013 ensuring that her legacy is not defined by tragedy but by transformation.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Everyone has a right to live, love and be safe in their own communities, Dias said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMy daughter, Ajike, was joyful, vibrant and devoted to her four children. She was supermom. She was the football mom \u2026 She worked hard to provide a better life for them,\u201d she said, calling Owens their \u201ccompass.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n After losing their mother, navigating life has not been easy, Dias said.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n \"Dias<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s been very hard for the children \u2013 they were very young when they lost their mother, and it\u2019s something no child should have to endure,\u201d she said. \u201cAt the same time, they\u2019ve shown strength and resilience that continues to amaze me.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI can see the values my daughter instilled in them \u2013 her kindness, her love, her faith \u2013 and that means they carry a piece of her wherever they go.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n For Dias, her daughter\u2019s values and legacy are what it\u2019s all about.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cOur message is simple,\u201d she said: \u201cWhen we stand together, we heal together.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
