AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A 35-year-old Texas woman has been found guilty in the May 2022 shooting death of rising professional cyclist Anna “Mo” Wilson. Kaitlin Armstrong was sentenced Thursday. She faces up to life in prison. Investigators say Armstrong gunned down Wilson in a jealous rage, then fled the country and got plastic surgery to change her appearance before she was tracked down at a beachside hostel in Costa Rica. Defense lawyers said Armstrong fled the U.S. because she was scared that she might know the killer.
