Austin, Texas – The family of Anna Moriah “Mo” Wilson, a professional cyclist tragically killed by her convicted killer, Kaitlin Armstrong, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit seeking over $1 million in damages. This lawsuit follows the heartbreaking loss of Wilson, who was fatally shot at the age of 25 in May 2022.
Wilson’s parents, Karen and Eric Wilson, are seeking justice for the loss of their daughter and are adamant that Armstrong be held accountable for her actions. The lawsuit alleges that Armstrong acted negligently, unlawfully, and recklessly with a firearm, resulting in Wilson’s untimely death. The family is also seeking compensation for funeral costs, emotional pain, and other expenses incurred as a result of the tragic incident.
The lawsuit paints a vivid picture of the devastating impact that Wilson’s death has had on her family, describing May 12, 2022, as the worst day of their lives. Wilson, affectionally known as ‘Mo,’ was a beloved daughter and sister whose life was cut short in a senseless act of violence.
During the trial, it was revealed that Wilson had a previous relationship with Armstrong’s boyfriend, leading to a motive for the tragic event. Armstrong allegedly tracked Wilson using a fitness app before entering the apartment where the fatal shooting took place. Following the murder, Armstrong fled to Costa Rica, underwent plastic surgery, and changed her appearance to evade capture.
After an international manhunt, Armstrong was apprehended by U.S. Marshals and brought back to the United States to face trial. In January 2024, she was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 90 years in prison. Currently incarcerated at the Gatesville Corrections Center in Texas, Armstrong is serving her sentence for the heinous crime she committed.
The legal battle between the Wilson family and Armstrong continues, as they seek closure and justice for the loss of their beloved Mo. The profound impact of Wilson’s death is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of senseless violence and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.
