West Wilson’s grandmother was tragically murdered just one night before filming started for the Summer House reunion, with his own cousin later being arrested and charged for first degree murder.
Authorities in Carroll County responded to reports of a shooting on April 22nd at 10:25 pm, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
West’s grandmother, 75 year old Gayle Wilson was sadly found dead on the scene, with a statement confirming: “A witness on scene identified a male suspect, who was also still on scene. The male suspect was taken into custody without incident.”
The male suspect was later identified as West Wilson’s cousin, Dakota Sweeney, and he’s currently been charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action.
According to the police reports, Dakota and another witness, later identified as his grandfather, were in the property when the police arrived.
