TikTok influencer Sara Gilson killed in murder-suicide after accusing husband of child sexual abuse
Sara Gilson, a 43-year-old TikTok influencer and mother of two from Owasso, Oklahoma, was fatally shot on July 23, 2026, in what police are investigating as a murder-suicide involving her estranged husband, Jeremiah 'Shawn' Duffey. Twelve days earlier, Gilson had publicly accused Duffey, a youth basketball coach, of being a pedophile in a viral TikTok video. A protective order had been issued in June requiring Duffey to stay 100 yards from her. Another protective order was filed the same day by the mother of a 15-year-old girl alleging Duffey had kissed, touched, and sent inappropriate messages to her daughter, offering money to stay silent. Gilson had previously filed for protective orders in 2021, but they were dismissed when she failed to appear in court. Her ex-husband, Lyle Landers, said he had urged her to leave Duffey for years. Duffey was never arrested or formally charged. A 911 call that night captured a child reporting the shooting and a woman screaming before a gunshot was heard.
