The cousin of Summer House star West Wilson is charged with murdering their shared grandmother. Dakota Sweeney, 28, was arrested last Wednesday after police say he shot Gayle Wilson in her Missouri home. The crime allegedly took place following an argument between Sweeney and his grandmother over chores. He was sitting on a couch for half an hour before court documents say he fired a gun “without warning.” The next day, West Wilson appeared in a reunion episode of Summer House, the reality TV show following a group of friends living together. Wilson, 31, has been a notable star on the series, having been plucked from obscurity as an unemployed former footballer. He also sparked controversy on March 31 when he revealed he was dating his Summer House co-star, Amanda Batula, the best friend of his ex-girlfriend, Ciara Miller. An obituary of Gayle Wilson, who died at 75, lists both West and Dakota Sweeney as “cherished grandchildren.” She is remembered as someone who “found joy in shaping the world around her,” and “took pride in building connections with her community.” Gayle Wilson also recently completed her goal of traveling to all 50 states. According to Page Six, Sweeney is currently being held in the Caldwell County Jail in Missouri on a no-bond warrant.
