A child who was inside the property at the time of the incident placed the 911 call that directed officers to the scene.
A family member later told police that Duffey had allegedly forced his way into the home, shot Gilson, and then turned the gun on himself.
Authorities have not yet formally classified the deaths as a murder, and the investigation is continuing.
Court orders painted a troubled picture
Court records showed a deeply strained relationship between the two. Gilson had sought protective orders against Duffey on two occasions in 2021, and again in June 2026.
That most recent order had been extended and was due to remain in effect until 24 August, just weeks after her death.
Separate court documents also show that Duffey had been ordered to maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from a local child and the child's home, an order also issued in June 2026.
TMZ reported that it had reached out to Duffey's attorney for comment but received no response.
Sara Gilson's last TikTok goes viral
The tragedy has intensified online following the resurfacing of a TikTok that Gilson posted fewer than two weeks before she was found dead. Drawing on the popular "Netflix documentary" trend, she wrote on screen:
"Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my soon-to-be ex-husband, who I just found out she abused a child."
She paired the clip with a caption that read: "I wish I was joking."
The video gained widespread attention after news of her death broke, circulating rapidly across social media and drawing significant reaction from users who had followed her content.
Police in Owasso continue to investigate the full circumstances surrounding both deaths.
