A powerful new documentary revisits the tragic killing of Ajike “AJ” Owens, a mother of four from Florida, whose death at the hands of her neighbor shocked the nation and reignited conversations about race, justice, and community tensions in America. The film, titled The Perfect Neighbor, examines how a neighborhood dispute turned deadly when Owens was fatally shot through a closed door after confronting the woman accused of harassing her children. Through emotional interviews, police footage, and courtroom testimony, the documentary sheds light on the deep divisions that fueled the case and the pain left behind for Owens’ family. It also exposes the legal complexities surrounding Florida’s controversial “stand your ground” laws, questioning whether justice was truly served. The project aims to honor Ajike Owens’ memory while sparking dialogue about empathy, accountability, and the urgent need for reform in how communities handle conflict.
