Sara Gilson's House

Author: Jewls Krueger

Sara Gilson, a social media influencer known online as Sara Duffey, was fatally shot at her home in Owasso, Oklahoma, on the night of Thursday, July 23, 2026, by her estranged husband, Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffey. Both were found dead at the scene. Police have said the deaths appear to be a murder-suicide, though the case remains under investigation.

The killing drew national attention because of what Gilson had posted only days earlier. On July 11, she shared a TikTok video publicly accusing Duffey of being a pedophile, weeks after she had obtained a protective order against him. This is a developing story, and this article reflects only what has been officially reported as of late July 2026. It will be updated as verified information is released.

Sara Gilson

Sara Gilson, 43, was a mother of two who had built a following of more than 30,000 people on TikTok, where she posted under the handle @mrsgilson.

Court records and reporting show she had sought legal protection from Duffey in the weeks before her death. According to Fox News, she had filed two earlier protective orders against him that were dismissed after she did not appear at the hearings, before filing again in June 2026.

Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffey

Jeremiah Duffey, who went by Shawn Duffey, was Gilson's estranged husband. He had coached a girls' traveling basketball team. On June 9, 2026, a girl and a parent told police that Duffey inappropriately touched the girl during an event at an elementary school that evening. Another coach saw what happened, intervened, and reported it.

Police later said that similar conduct toward the same player had reportedly occurred "over an extended period of time, in multiple law enforcement jurisdictions, across multiple states" before that incident. Duffey fled after the report and had not been located by police in the weeks that followed.

The day after the elementary school report, on June 10, Gilson was granted an emergency protective order, and Duffey was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from her and her home. Fox News, citing The Oklahoman, reported that a second woman filed her own protective order against Duffey the same day, alleging he had been seen "kissing and fondling" her 15-year-old daughter, who played on the team he coached.

The Shooting

Late on Thursday, July 23, 2026, officers responded to a domestic call at Gilson's Owasso home at about 11:16 p.m. A 911 caller had reported a woman screaming, followed by what sounded like a gunshot. Dispatchers tried 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. When officers arrived, they found Gilson and Duffey dead. Fox News reported that an extended family member told local outlet KTUL that Duffey had broken into the home, killed Gilson, and then killed himself.

The Investigation

The Owasso Police Department confirmed the couple's identities and said there was no ongoing threat to the public. Police have said the case is still being investigated, while noting that the deaths appear to be a murder-suicide.

Gilson's son was taken into protective custody and later released to a parent who was not involved in the incident. She leaves behind a son and a daughter.
