'Thankful we can start getting some closure'; husband arrested for murder of Lebanon woman and unborn child

LEBANON, Mo. — Sidney Fredrick Wilson V, 25, of Stoutland, has been charged with the murder of 21-year-old Reagan Lynn Wilson, who was shot at her Lebanon home in June, and her unborn son, Silas.

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

Wilson was Reagan's husband and the father of Silas, although he and Reagan were reportedly separated at the time of her death. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said members of Operation Relentless Pursuit arrested Wilson at a residence in Nixa on Thursday, July 31.

Lebanon Police Department Chief Larry Harrison tells Ozarks First that no law enforcement officers were injured during the operation.

Jeff Ice, Reagan's stepfather, told Ozarks First there's a "sigh of relief" with the arrest, calling it "long overdue."

"We're very thankful we can start getting some closure from this point on," Ice said.

Wilson was seen in a black, unmarked car being brought into the Laclede County Courthouse earlier this evening.

Reagan's mother, Sarah Ice, said that while Wilson has been arrested, her family has remained affected by the incident.

"Our almost-adult kids are struggling and terrified to go outside at night," Sarah said. "Their sister was just taken, for no reason."

Sarah said Reagan was like "every emotion rolled into one," and she could "always light up the room" with her energy.

According to previous Ozarks First coverage, the LPD responded to a report of a shooting at 11:37 p.m. June 5, 2025, in the 700 block of North Adams Avenue.

Officers found Reagan with gunshot wounds at the residence. She was pronounced dead shortly after the incident. She was pregnant at the time of the shooting, and her baby, Silas, died June 13.
