Owasso Police Investigating Fatal Domestic Violence Shooting That Claimed the Lives of Sara Duff and Shawn Duffey

The Owasso Police Department is investigating a fatal domestic violence-related shooting that claimed the lives of Oklahoma social media personality and mother Sara Duff and her husband, Shawn Duffey, on Thursday night.

According to investigators, officers were dispatched at approximately 11:15 p.m. to a residence near the intersection of East 123rd Place North and North 130th East Avenue after receiving a domestic disturbance call from a juvenile associated with the home.

When officers arrived, they located two adults inside the residence suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Authorities said Sara Duff was pronounced dead at the scene. Shawn Duffey, a well-known Oklahoma girls’ basketball coach, was found with what investigators described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition, where he later died from his injuries.

Family members identified the victims as Sara Duff and Shawn Duffey. Sara had built a substantial online following through family-focused social media content, where she shared moments from her life as a mother and connected with thousands of followers across digital platforms. News of her death has prompted an outpouring of condolences from supporters, friends, and members of the Oklahoma community.

The Owasso Police Department has not formally classified the case but stated that detectives are investigating the deaths as a domestic violence-related shooting. Based on the preliminary information released by investigators, authorities believe the incident was isolated and have emphasized that there is no ongoing threat to the public.

Police have not disclosed additional information regarding the circumstances that led to the shooting, and investigators continue to examine evidence and interview witnesses as part of the ongoing investigation. Because both individuals involved are deceased, authorities have indicated that no arrests are expected.

The tragedy has deeply affected the Owasso community, where Shawn Duffey was widely known for his work as a girls’ basketball coach. At the same time, many of Sara Duff’s followers have expressed their grief over the loss of a mother whose online presence centered on family life and everyday experiences.

Officials have not released further details about the juvenile who contacted authorities, and no additional information about the family has been made public.

The investigation remains active as detectives work to determine the full sequence of events leading up to the shooting. The Owasso Police Department has asked anyone with relevant information to contact investigators.

As the community mourns the loss of two lives, local leaders and victim advocates continue to emphasize the importance of recognizing the warning signs of domestic violence and encouraging those experiencing abuse to seek help through trusted family members, friends, or local support services.
