Monday, July 27, 2026 -A social media influencer has been k!lled by her estranged husband less than two weeks after she went on TikTok to accuse him of p£dophilia.
Sara Gilson was fatally shot Thursday, July 23, in Owasso,
Oklahoma, by husband Jeremiah Duffey, who went by Shawn Duffey on social media,
according to the Owasso Police Department. She was 43.
A little over a month earlier, on June 10, she filed and was
granted an emergency protective order against Duffey after police informed her
he’d been accused the day prior of molesting a minor.
On July 11, Gilson posted a video on TikTok, where she had
more than 30,000 followers, accusing Duffey of p£dophilia.
“Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my
soon to be ex-husband who I just found out is a p£dophile,” Gilson wrote.
On June 9, about a month before Gilson posted the video, a
girl and a parent told police that Duffey, who coached the girl’s traveling
basketball team, inappropriately touched her during an event at an elementary
school earlier that evening, police said. Another team coach saw what happened
and immediately intervened and reported it to the girl’s parent, police
said.
“Similar conduct by this coach towards this particular
juvenile player was reported to have occurred over an extended period of time,
in multiple law enforcement jurisdictions, across multiple states prior to this
incident,” police said Saturday, July 25.
Duffey fled and had not been seen by police since.
Because Duffey was a member of the Osage tribe and the
incident at the school happened on tribal land, police said, they submitted the
case for a charge of lewd molestation of a minor to the U.S.
Following the report, police contacted Gilson and gave her
information on how to seek an emergency protective order.
She did as she was told and the order was granted on June 10, Tulsa County
court records show. Duffey was ordered to stay 100 yards away from Gilson and
her home at all times.
On Thursday, July 23, officers responded to a domestic violence incident
at a residence in the city of Collinsville at 11:16 p.m. after a 911 call in
which dispatchers heard a woman screaming followed by “what sounded to be a
gunshot,” police said. Dispatchers attempted to call back but got no
answer.
Moments later, a boy called 911 from a neighbor’s home and said his
stepfather had shot his mother, police said.
When officers arrived at the home, they found Gilson and Duffey de@d from
apparent gunshot wounds to the head, police said.
Police are still investigating, but they said the d£aths appear to be a
murd£r-su!cide.
Gilson’s son was taken into protective custody and later released to a
parent who wasn’t involved in the incident, authorities said. Gilson leaves
behind the son and a daughter.
“Sara was an incredible mom. Her children were the center of her world,
and everything she did was for them,” an online fundraiser set up for the kids
said.
“She loved them fiercely, worked hard to provide for them, and dreamed of
giving them the best life possible.”
