On May 11, 2022, a cyclist named Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson was shot multiple times while at a friend's home in Austin, Texas. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Wilson was allegedly murdered by Kaitlin Armstrong, cyclist Colin Strickland's partner of three years. Police believe Armstrong used a gun purchased by Strickland in January 2022 to shoot Wilson. The affidavit states that police examined the victim's phone and concluded that Wilson was romantically tied to Strickland while he was still dating Armstrong. It also states that Armstrong was aware of Strickland's relationship with Wilson and she expressed a strong desire to kill her. Strickland promptly kept further communication with Wilson hidden from Armstrong, going so far as to delete text messages from Wilson in his phone while saving her phone number under a fictitious name. Strickland was also the last person seen in public with Wilson at Deep Eddy Pool in Austin before her death.[1]
Armstrong was initially detained by police after footage of her car was found at the time of Wilson's murder, and then held on an outstanding misdemeanor warrant from 2018. She was inadvertently released, however, owing to the prior warrant listing an incorrect date of birth which did not match the new warrant or police record system. [2] After spending 43 days on the run from authorities, Armstrong was found in a hotel in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica where she was apprehended by US Marshals on June 29, 2022.[3][4]
Victim
Wilson, 25, was an nationally ranked junior skier, but had recently become a gravel cyclist.[5] Memorials were held for her in New York City, San Francisco and her hometown, the small New England village of East Burke, Vermont, held a memorial celebration of her life.[6]
