POTEAU, Okla. (KNWA/KFTA) — A man has been arrested in connection with a double homicide that left a woman and her 17-month-old daughter dead in LeFlore County, according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI).
The LeFlore County Sheriff’s Office and District 16 District Attorney’s Office requested OSBI assistance on March 21 after deputies were called to a home off Old Tarby Road in Poteau around 4:30 p.m, according to a news release.
At the scene, deputies said they found 31-year-old Gabrielle Wilson and her young daughter dead, both with apparent gunshot wounds.
Based on evidence collected, OSBI agents identified 31-year-old Grant Wilson, Gabrielle Wilson’s twin brother, as a suspect in the case.
According to OSBI, Wilson faces two counts of first-degree murder, though those charges are not listed in his Monroe County booking. In Monroe County, Grant Wilson is charged in connection with the pursuit, including felony fleeing or attempting to elude police, along with several misdemeanors such as reckless driving and speeding.
Wilson remains in the Monroe County Jail with no bond set. He is expected to be extradited back to LeFlore County, according to OSBI.
