TX Woman Wanted In Pro Cyclist's Death Spotted In New Jersey: Police

AUSTIN, TX — Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, the Texas woman wanted in connection with the killing of professional off-road cyclist Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson, was dropped off at a New Jersey airport one day after authorities issued a warrant for her arrest, the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force announced Monday.

On May 17, the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force issued an arrest warrant for 34-year-old Armstrong, who is suspected of killing the 25-year-old cyclist from Vermont after she reportedly dated Armstrong's boyfriend.

Authorities learned that Armstrong was dropped off at Newark Liberty International Airport on May 18. A search of outbound flights there revealed no reservations were made under Armstrong's name, authorities said.

Wilson was found in an East Austin home on May 11, unconscious and bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds, authorities said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to a New York Times report, Armstrong was dating Colin Strickland, another star gravel cyclist. Wilson was also reportedly dating Strickland, the Times reported, citing police.

On the night she was killed, Wilson and Strickland reportedly visited the Deep Eddy pool in Austin, according to a police affidavit posted by The Austin American-Statesman. According to the affidavit, Strickland told police he began a romantic relationship with Wilson during a brief break in his relationship with Armstrong.

Surveillance footage placed a vehicle similar to Armstrong's near the scene of the shooting, according to a CNN report. Ballistics evidence confirmed that a handgun found at Armstrong and Strickland's house was the gun that was fired in Wilson's killing, police told CNN.

On May 14, Armstrong was spotted at Austin International Bergstrom Airport at approximately 12:30 p.m. She boarded a flight to Houston Hobby Airport, authorities said, before boarding a connecting Southwest Airlines flight to New York LaGuardia Airport.

Armstrong is 5-feet 8-inches tall and weighs approximately 125 pounds. She has light brown long, curly hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen on surveillance video wearing a blue denim jacket, black shirt with a pink design on the chest, white jeans, black and white tennis shoes, a black COVID mask, and a possible yoga mat carrier on her shoulders.

Authorities are now offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Armstrong's arrest.

Anyone with information on Armstrong's whereabouts is urged to contact the U.S. Marshals Service Communications Center at 800-336-0102 or submit a tip using the USMS Tips app.

Tips may also be sent to the Capital Area Crime Stoppers at 800-893-8477.
