West Wilson’s Relative Arrested for Grandmother’s Murder

Dakota Sweeney, identified as West Wilson’s cousin, was arrested in Carrollton, Missouri and charged with first‑degree murder and armed criminal action in the 75‑year‑old Gayle R. Wilson’s death. A witness said Sweeney shot Gayle after a dispute about chores, following about 30 minutes on separate couches in the home. Sweeney is being held at Caldwell County Jail, with a bond hearing set for May 6; Gayle’s obituary lists Wilson and Sweeney as her grandchildren, and TMZ notes Gayle was a stepmother to Wilson’s father and Sweeney’s mother. The Cut says it will update as more details emerge.
