In the quiet town of Clinton, Oklahoma, a beloved 24-year-old woman's life was tragically cut short, leaving a community in mourning and a family searching for answers. Gabrielle 'Gabbi' Hawthorn was discovered deceased in her apartment on South 6th Street on the evening of November 10, 2019. Alongside her was 25-year-old Deshawn Wooden; both had suffered fatal gunshot wounds in what authorities are investigating as a double homicide.
The grim discovery was made by Wooden's roommate, who
immediately alerted the Clinton Police Department. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation was called in to assist with the complex investigation. Despite numerous interviews and the pursuit of several leads, the case has grown cold. To date, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with the murders, leaving a cloud of uncertainty and grief over the community. The motive for the killings remains unknown.
Gabrielle, remembered for her vibrant personality, was a devoted mother to her young son. A former soccer player throughout her school years, her sudden and violent death sent shockwaves through her circle of friends and family. They remember her as a kind and well-liked individual. Funeral services were held on November 18, 2019, at the First Baptist Church of Weatherford, followed by her burial at Hydro Masonic Cemetery. The investigation into the unsolved double homicide of Gabrielle Hawthorn and Deshawn Wooden remains active and ongoing, with law enforcement urging anyone with information to come forward.
