An Oklahoma community wants answers after a young mother and her daughter died in a horrific attack. Deputies from the LeFlore County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence in Poteau around 4:30 pm. on March 21, 2026. While inside, they found 31-year-old Gabrielle Hoffman Wilson and her 16-month-old daughter, Kimber Jolea Daray Terry, dead from apparent gunshot wounds. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation got involved and made a shocking discovery. The suspected killer was none other than Gabrielle Wilson’s twin brother, Grant Wilson.
Grant Wilson seemingly committed the crime and then left the scene.
Surveillance from a nearby home showed a vehicle arriving at the crime scene and leaving just four minutes later, WLBT reported. Investigators determined that the vehicle belonged to Grant Wilson and began a large-scale search for him. Per the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, deputies from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department arrested Grant Wilson on March 22 near Atlanta, Georgia, following a traffic stop.
The twins reportedly had a tumultuous relationship.
According to court documents obtained by 5 News, Grant Wilson and Gabrielle Hoffman Wilson had a tumultuous relationship. The twins’ father reportedly arrived at the home during the investigation and told police his children had a “history of violent arguments and physical altercations.”
When police found Grant Wilson, his car allegedly had multiple weapons inside, including a pistol and a rifle. He also had several changes of clothes and “long-term food supplies.”
