The man accused of killing his twin sister and her baby daughter in LeFlore County waived extradition after being captured in Georgia.
Grant Wilson was arrested in Atlanta after being tracked by LeFlore County sheriff’s deputies for allegedly shooting his sister, Gabrielle Wilson, and her 17-month-old daughter in Poteau, Oklahoma.
Deputies with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia told 40/29 News that Wilson waived extradition back to Oklahoma. He’s expected to be returned to LeFlore County, where he will face murder charges.
“This is an extremely sad case,” said Hunter McKee, public information manager with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. “This was a senseless crime, and it’s been a heartbreaking story so far.”
On Saturday afternoon, emergency responders and LeFlore County deputies found 31-year-old Gabrielle Wilson and her daughter dead inside their home on Old Tarby Road, just outside Poteau city limits. Investigators say both had been shot.
According to the arrest warrant affidavit, nearby surveillance footage identified a car at the house for only four minutes before it left. Investigators said the car belongs to Gabrielle’s twin brother, Grant Wilson. By early Sunday morning, Wilson was found in Atlanta, Georgia. After leading Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies on a brief pursuit, Wilson was arrested.
According to the incident report, deputies recovered numerous firearms, including two handguns that Oklahoma state investigators believe were used in the deadly shootings.
As for a motive, McKee said, “We don’t have the answers to that yet. I know that this is an extremely, it’s just something that is hard to fathom when you’re talking about a brother to our victim and to know that she had such a young child.”
According to court records, family members told investigators that the twin brother and sister had a history of violent arguments and physical altercations. Wilson is now facing two felony first-degree murder charges in Oklahoma.

An Oklahoma man accused of killing his twin sister and her 1-year-old daughter on Saturday was arrested after a chase in Central Georgia, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
They say that 31-year-old Grant Hoffman Wilson was located in Monroe County Sunday while traveling south on Interstate 475.
According to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, Wilson is wanted in a double homicide in Poteau, Oklahoma, which about a two-hour drive outside of Tulsa and near the Arkansas border.
Monroe County deputies were able to track Wilson down and attempted to stop him, but Wilson instead attempted to speed off. They were eventually able to stop Wilson, who was arrested on felony fleeing and obstruction charges in Georgia.
They say Wilson is awaiting extradition to Oklahoma, where the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations say set to face double murder charges.
He was armed with a pistol at the time of his arrest and, during a search of Wilson’s vehicle, they found multiple guns ranging from a lever-action rifle, a shotgun and multiple loaded magazines.
They also found several bags of clothing, long-term food supplies and ammunition of various calibers.
Oklahoma authorities say that Wilson is accused of killing 31-year-old Gabrielle Wilson and her daughter. They were found shot to death at a home in Poteau Oklahoma — a town of just under 9,000 — off Old Tarby Road.
Investigators were able to hone in on her twin brother as the suspect, according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, the arrest of Wilson marks the fourth murder suspect arrested by deputies within the past several years.
