Tragic End: Oklahoma Influencer's Heartbreaking 911 Call Before Deadly Confrontation

Share Post

Moments before she was found dead alongside her husband, Oklahoma influencer Sara Gilson was heard "screaming and crying" by a 911 call handler. Heartbreakingly, by the time emergency services arrived at the scene, it was too late, and she was found with fatal gunshot wounds alongside her estranged husband, Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffey. Cops were alerted by a child who lived at the home and called 911 at 11.15 pm on Thursday, July 23. In the dispatch audio obtained by People , a 911 call handler can be heard telling first responders: “I’m trying to reach him back, but I could hear a female in the background screaming and crying. Some sort of loud bang in the background.” Just seconds later, the dispatcher mentioned a “male that we were looking for a few weeks ago after he got caught kissing a juvenile” and referred to “a gun.” At approximately 11.18 pm dispatchers arrived at the home where they found Gilson, 43, and Duffey, 48, both dead with gunshot wounds. It has since been established that Gilson was shot by Duffey, who then turned the gun on himself too. Gilson had outed her husband's crimes on social media On social media, Gilson had recently accused Duffey of being a “ pedophile ”. In the video, shared to her more than 50,000 followers on July 11, the influencer mimicked a current trend, in which users pretend to sit down for an interview with Netflix for a documentary. In text laid over the video, she wrote: “Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my soon-to-be ex-husband who I just found out is a pedophile.” Tragically, the video was captioned “I wish I was joking””. Duffey had recently been accused of sexual relations with a minor when a woman filed for a protective order against him on behalf of her daughter, a 15-year-old girl who played on the basketball team he coached. According to The Oklahoman , the child’s mother claimed that Duffey kissed and touched her and was caught by another coach.

In 2021, she filed two orders against him, but they were dismissed because Gilson did not appear at the hearing. Then, less than two weeks before the former couple was found dead , Gilson filed for another emergency protective order against Duffey on July 10. She claimed that he had a gun, threatened to kill himself, and “went on the run”. Court records show that Duffey was immediately ordered out of their home and ordered to stay 100 yards away from Gilson. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
