Woman Sentenced to 90 Years for Murder of Pro Cyclist Mo Wilson

A Texas jury has sentenced Kaitlin Armstrong to 90 years in prison for the murder of professional cyclist Anna "Mo" Wilson. Wilson was shot three times in May 2022, in what prosecutors described as a jealous rage. Armstrong had been tracking Wilson through a fitness app and killed her at the apartment where she was staying. The two had briefly dated the same man, who was Armstrong's boyfriend at the time. The jury deliberated for just over three hours before delivering the murder verdict and took an additional few hours to reach the 90-year sentence.

Wilson, an emerging star in pro gravel and mountain bike racing, had been visiting Austin ahead of a race when she was killed. Her death sent shockwaves through the cycling community and prompted a 43-day international search for her killer. Armstrong, a yoga instructor, was eventually arrested in Costa Rica.

Wilson's family expressed their grief and anger in court, with her mother stating, "When you shot Moriah in the heart, you shot me in the heart ... all the people who loved her, pierced their hearts." The sentencing came a day after Armstrong was found guilty of first-degree murder.
