An influencer has been shot dead by her husband in a murder-suicide weeks after she claimed he was a paedophile on social media, police say. Sara Gilson, 43, and Jeremiah “Shawn” Duffey 48, were found dead in her home after suffering gunshot wounds to the head on July 23.
Weeks before the fatal shooting in Owasso, Oklahoma, Gilson posted a video to social media claiming her husband was a paedophile on TikTok. The video was part of the current Netflix documentary trend, popular across social media sites.
Gilson wrote on her video: “Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my soon to be ex husband who I just found out is a pedophile.”
The trend sees social media users pretend to sit down for an interview as if they are getting ready to feature in a documentary.
The set-up has been used for social media users to joke about numerous subjects from funny inside jokes to traumatic life events. The caption of the video read: “I wish I was joking. #plottwist #netflix #documentary.”
Authorities have stated Gilson was shot by Duffey who then turned the weapon on himself ending his own life. Years prior to the shooting Gilson filed two protective orders against Duffey in 2021, local media reports.

However these charges were dismissed after Gilson did not appear at the hearing, The Oklahoman reports. Back on June 10, Gilson submitted an emergency protective order against Duffey.
The man was immediately ordered from their home and demanded to stay 100 yards away from the woman, PEOPLE reports.
On June 23 the proactive order against the man was extended to August 24. Gilson claimed in the protective order Duffey had a gun and had threatened to end his life “and went on the run.”

Also on June 10 – on the same date as Gilson – another woman filed an additional protective order on behalf of her minor daughter against Duffey. The child was a 15-year-old girl that played in a youth basketball team Duffey coached.
Duffey allegedly kissed and touched the girl and was caught by another coach, the mother claimed, per The Oklahoman. Speaking to her mother the child has claimed Duffey engaged in additional inappropriate behaviour towards her.
This behaviour included sending her messages and inviting her to his hotel room during a tournament trip. The child also claimed the man also offered her money “to keep her quiet.”
