Influencer Sara Gilson begged husband Jeremiah “Shawn” Duffey not to kill her before their deaths in a murder-suicide, a witness claimed.
On July 23 at 11:18 p.m., a male called the Collinsville Police Department in Collinsville, Oklahoma, to report that he was on the phone with Gilson, 43, when someone broke into her home, according to a radio log exclusively obtained by Us on Thursday, July 30.
The caller reported hearing a man tell Gilson “to get off the phone.” He also stated that he heard Gilson say, “please don’t kill me” to someone in the room. The man advised the operator that there was a child in the home. The call was transferred to the Owasso Police Department in Owasso, Oklahoma, because it was not in Collinsville’s jurisdiction.
On Saturday, July 25, news broke that Gilson and Duffey were found dead in their Oklahoma City home after a fatal shooting on July 23. Investigators believe that Duffey broke into the home and fatally shot Gilson before turning the gun on himself.
Police later disclosed that 911 dispatchers received a call from “a juvenile caller advising his step-father had shot his mother.”
Gilson could also be heard “screaming and crying” in a 911 call, a dispatcher told first responders after receiving an emergency call from “a child who lived at the home,” People reported.
Two weeks before their deaths, Gilson — a hairstylist with 38,000 followers on TikTok — claimed that her marriage to Duffey had ended after he was accused of pedophilia in a viral post. “Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my soon to be ex husband who I just found out is a pedophile,” Gilson wrote.
Duffey did not address the allegations before his death.
On June 10, Gilson filed for a protective order against Duffey, claiming that he had a “firearm on him” and “went on the run.” The order went into effect the same day.
Gilson also referred to “pedo charges” in the docs viewed by Us. Duffey was ordered to stay 100 yards away from her and their home. The order was extended through August 24.
A separate protective order was filed against Duffey by a mother in Oklahoma who claimed that he inappropriately touched her 15-year-old daughter at basketball practice, Us confirmed.
“[The alleged victim] has also said that he has been giving her money to keep her quiet,” the mother claimed in court docs viewed by Us.
The OPD confirmed to Us that an incident occurred one hour before the parent and child came to Owasso Police Headquarters on June 9.
“Upon further investigation, it was discovered that a basketball coach, later identified as Jeremiah Shawn Duffey, a coach of a traveling, competitive basketball team, had inappropriately touched a juvenile female member of the team he was coaching, inside the school during an event that evening,” police captain Nick Boatman said in a statement.
