Police allege Armstrong gunned down Wilson minutes after the 25-year-old victim returned to a friend's apartment following a night out with Armstrong's live-in boyfriend, Colin Strickland. Like Wilson, Strickland was a professional gravel cyclist, and the two allegedly had a brief fling in 2021.

On the night of the slaying, Strickland drove Wilson to her friend's apartment on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Moments after he pulled away, according to Austin police, Armstrong's Jeep appeared on surveillance video taken from a neighboring home.

A friend came home and found Wilson with gunshot wounds. Police said shell casings discovered at the scene matched a handgun they later seized from Armstrong and Strickland's home. Armstrong was arrested in Costa Rica after a 43 day manhunt.
