Law enforcement authorities search for woman accused of murdering cyclist in alleged love triangle – Law Officer

AUSTIN, Texas – The search continues for the Austin-area cyclist accused of shooting and killing a rising star in the sport in what has been described as a love triangle.

Last week, the Austin Police Department obtained an arrest warrant for 34-year-old Kaitlin Armstrong. She is accused of shooting and killing Moriah Wilson at an East Austin apartment on May 11.

Wilson, 25, had flown from Colorado to Texas earlier that week to prepare for the Gravel Locos race in Hico, where she was a favorite to win, FOX 7 Austin reported.

Wilson recently captured a victory in the Belgian Waffle Ride in California.

Police say Armstrong disappeared and has not been seen since May 13.

According to the arrest warrant affidavit by Austin police, Armstrong was dating Colin Strickland, another star cyclist. Wilson had also been romantically involved with Strickland.

Surveillance videos and ballistics appear to connect Armstrong to Wilson’s murder, police said.
