Lebanon Police arrest suspect in death of estranged wife and her unborn son

LEBANON, Mo. — Sidney Fredrick Wilson V was arrested today and charged with the murders of 21-year-old Reagan Lynn Wilson and her unborn son, Silas, who were shot at their Lebanon home earlier this summer.

He faces charges of first-degree murder for both victims and armed criminal action. He is being held without bond at the Laclede County Jail.

Lebanon police responded to a report of a shooting at 11:37 p.m. June 5 in the 700 block of North Adams Avenue. Officers found Reagan Wilson with gunshot wounds at the residence. She was pregnant at the time of the shooting.

Reagan was pronounced dead shortly after the incident, and her baby, Silas, died June 13, 2025.

“Our entire team mourns the loss of this young mother and child. Our team and our partners are disgusted by this loss of life and will relentlessly pursue justice for Reagan and her child,” said Chief Harrison.

“We are grateful to the Laclede County Sheriff’s Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol, FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the ATF for their assistance,” Harrison said. He also thanked Gov. Mike Kehoe’s Relentless Pursuit Team for coordinating the arrest.
