Wilson is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Alan Groom.

A second-degree murder charge is an accusation. It is not a conviction. Wilson, 62, of Colorado Springs, also reported as Shelly, was arrested after a dead man was reported inside a home in the 4000 block of Tappan Drive during the weekend of Sept. 19-20, 2026. On Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, The Gazette reported that the El Paso County Coroner's Office and Colorado Springs police identified the man as Alan Groom, 73. The reported counts remain second-degree murder, tampering with a deceased human body, and tampering with physical evidence. Naming the victim is identification. It is not a finding of guilt.

KKTV and KRDO, citing an arrest affidavit, reported that Wilson and another woman reported a dead man inside the home. KKTV, citing those papers, identified the other woman as Wilson's daughter. The same papers, as KKTV reported them, say Wilson told police the man, described as her boyfriend, died in March, and that she later said she concealed the remains in plastic totes and trash bags. Investigators found remains and a stained mattress. She told police she was scared she might have killed him. Those are allegations in an affidavit. They are not findings.

On Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, The Gazette reported that the El Paso County Coroner's Office and Colorado Springs police identified the man as Alan Groom, 73. That release names the person who died. It is identification. It is not a conviction, and the reporting used here does not add a cause of death.

Wilson remains charged with second-degree murder, tampering with a deceased human body, and tampering with physical evidence, and she is held without bond. She is presumed innocent. Naming Alan Groom does not decide those counts.
