A woman was taken into custody Tuesday night in connection with the death of 35-year-old Ajike AJ Owens, who was fatally shot last week in central Florida after knocking on a neighbors door, a sheriffs office spokesperson said.
Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods told reporters Monday his office was rigorously investigating the case, and that authorities were working to determine whether the deadly force was justified or not.
Owens relatives have said they want the person who killed her arrested and charged.
They say the shooter, identified by police reports only as a 58-year-old White woman, harassed the Black mother and her children and had called them racial slurs prior to Fridays killing in Marion County outside Ocala.

Looks like the Sheriff was finally shamed into doing something, but it's not clear what if any charges there will be. The woman shot and killed AJ Owens through a closed door.
