In September 2020, a burglar attempted to break into Lorenza’s apartment in a senior housing complex in Fontana, California, but he failed when the old lady told him to “Back off!”

Instead of actually backing off, the burglar moved on to 87-year-old Elizabeth McCray’s apartment in the same building.

Elizabeth said, “He grabbed me and shake me, and I went down on the floor.” Lorenza heard her scream and knew she needed to help her neighbor.

Lorenza immediately made her way over to Elizabeth’s apartment with a baseball bat, but first called 911.

Her Secret Skills

With her 26 years of martial arts training under a jujitsu black belt, Lorenza boldly approached the criminal.

Lorenza said, “I squeezed myself between her and him. I put Mama on the side, and I jumped on him. I was punching him and everything, and I had the cane against his throat.”

The man tried to fight back but Lorenza wasn’t intimidated. She switched positions to hold him down in a way that she said she knew wouldn’t kill him. She bent back his fingers, elbowed him twice in the sternum, and then told him off.

When the cops arrived, they were able to arrest 59-year-old Donald Robert Prestwood and charged him with felony elder abuse.
