Overview
- Police found Gilson and her ex-husband Jeremiah Duffey dead of gunshot wounds in her Owasso, Oklahoma, home after a child called 911 reporting that his stepfather had shot his mother.
- Investigators say their main theory is that Duffey shot Gilson and then took his own life, and the inquiry remains active as officers review communications and the scene.
- Gilson had publicly accused Duffey of being a pedophile in a widely viewed TikTok on July 11 and had sought a restraining order after a June 9 complaint that accused him of abusing a young basketball student.
- Officials confirmed a court-ordered protection was in place that required Duffey to stay away from Gilson, and investigators are examining how he was able to enter her home on July 23.
- Family and friends have launched a fundraiser for Gilson’s two children and the case has prompted local discussion about the limits of restraining orders and safety measures for people who make public accusations.
