A social media influencer is dead following an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said, less than two weeks after accusing her estranged husband of pedophilia on TikTok.

Sara Gilson and Jeremiah Shawn Duffey are dead following an apparent murder-suicide on July 23.


Both were found fatally shot Thursday in their Owasso, Oklahoma, home.

Gilson, a TikTok influencer from Oklahoma with more than 78,000 followers and millions of likes, accused Duffey of pedophilia in a viral TikTok post just days earlier.

Oklahoma influencer killed in murder-suicide

Owasso Police Department officials said in a news release that dispatchers received a call around 11:16 p.m. on July 23 about a reported domestic violence incident at a home on North 130th East Avenue in Collinsville, which falls within Owasso city limits.

According to police, dispatchers reported hearing a woman screaming and what sounded like a gunshot shortly afterward. The dispatcher tried to get in contact with anyone on the other end of the call, but they were unsuccessful.

Shortly afterward, police received another 911 call from a juvenile saying his stepfather had shot his mother, according to the news release. The child had made the call from a neighbor's home.

When officers arrived, they found two people dead with gunshot wounds to the head. Police investigated the deaths as a murder-suicide.

The child who called 911 was taken into protective custody, and police said he was released to his other parent who wasn't involved in the murder-suicide.

The Owasso Police Department identified the two people as Sara Duffey, who is also known as Sara Gilson, and Jeremiah Shawn Duffey. Gilson had been granted a protective order against her husband.

The investigation into the murder-suicide is ongoing. Police said there is no threat to the public.
