A Lebanon, Missouri man has pleaded guilty to murdering his pregnant wife and the infant son born after she was shot, closing out a case that began with a late-night emergency call to a home on North Adams Avenue in June 2025. Sidney Fredrick Wilson V entered guilty pleas Tuesday to two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action.
Wilson admitted to shooting Reagan Wilson, 21, and her unborn son at her home on June 5, 2025, according to KRCG. Officers responded at approximately 11:37 p.m. that night to a residence in the 700 block of North Adams Avenue in Lebanon, as reported by KY3.
A Newborn Clung to Life for Over a Week
Reagan was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting, KRCG reports. Her son, who had been delivered following the attack and was given the name Silas, survived on critical life support before he died from his injuries on June 13, 2025, the same report from KY3 notes.
Sidney and Reagan Wilson were legally married but had been living separately when the shooting occurred, per the KY3 account. The relationship between the two, and what led to the shooting, has not been detailed in court records made public so far.
Sentencing Set for Mid-December
Wilson is scheduled to be sentenced on December 14, according to the same KRCG report. No sentence has yet been imposed, and the scope of the punishment he could face has not been disclosed in available court information.
The case drew renewed attention this week as Wilson's guilty pleas closed out more than a year of proceedings stemming from the June 2025 shooting in Lebanon. Further details are expected to emerge as the sentencing date approaches.
