Overview
- Police found Sara Gilson and her estranged husband, Jeremiah “Shawn” Duffey, dead of apparent gunshot wounds after a child called 911 on Thursday, July 23, and investigators say Duffey shot Gilson before dying by suicide.
- Gilson obtained an emergency protective order on June 10 that ordered Duffey to stay 100 yards away and that order was later extended through August 24, and police say Duffey violated that order the night of the shooting.
- Court filings allege Duffey inappropriately kissed and touched a 15‑year‑old player he coached and offered money and messages to keep her quiet, but no local criminal charges were filed before his death.
- Owasso police referred the reported misconduct to the U.S. Attorney’s Office because the incident was alleged to have occurred on Osage tribal land and Duffey was a tribal member, which removed local charging authority.
- The case remains under active investigation with autopsy results and forensic steps pending, a GoFundMe has been started for Gilson’s two children, and the killings have renewed scrutiny of how protective orders and tribal jurisdiction affect victim safety.
