She Didn’t Want Him There”—A Facebook Message, a Tesla, and a Tragic Double Murder in Missouri
A young mother’s final words may have sealed her fate. On the night of June 5, 2025, tragedy unfolded in Lebanon, Missouri, when Reagan Wilson, a 21-year-old pregnant woman, was gunned down in her home. The man accused of this unspeakable crime is her estranged husband, Sidney Wilson, just 25 years old.
According to police reports, Sidney allegedly received a Facebook message from Reagan that read she “didn’t want him or his family there.” What followed next was a sequence of chilling events that would end two innocent lives.
At the time of the message, Sidney was charging his 2022 Tesla Model 3 in Fenton, Missouri. Surveillance footage would later show him arriving at Reagan’s home at 9:26pm and leaving around 12:41am. Police responded to a 911 call at 11:37pm and found Reagan suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She died shortly after.
Reagan was pregnant. Their unborn son, Silas, miraculously survived the initial shooting and was rushed to the hospital. He fought for his life for over a week but passed away on June 13. The dreams of motherhood, the first cries, and the life Reagan had carried inside her were all violently taken away.
He Never Asked About the Killer—Because He Knew
Sidney and Reagan were no longer living together. Their relationship had deteriorated months earlier, with Reagan reportedly leaving Sidney in December 2024. Despite being separated, the two remained in contact—until their final, fatal exchange.
After the murder, Sidney appeared at the hospital where baby Silas was being treated. But something felt off to investigators. He never asked about the investigation or whether the shooter had been identified. This unusual behavior, paired with contradicting statements and damning surveillance footage, made him a prime suspect.
He admitted owning a gun matching the murder weapon but claimed to have sold it in April to a man he randomly met at a restaurant. Police reviewed footage from the date in question and found no such interaction. Instead, Sidney was seen eating alone and leaving—no long conversation, no gun deal.
On July 31, nearly two months after the shooting, Sidney Wilson was arrested. He now faces two counts of first-degree murder and armed criminal action. The life of Reagan, a young woman with so much ahead of her, and Silas, who never had a chance to live, are now at the center of a case that has left a quiet Missouri town shaken.
This is more than just a story of domestic violence. It is a haunting reminder of how fragile life can be—and how quickly anger, isolation, and a single message can destroy multiple lives.
