The incident took place May 11, 2022, APD said. Wilson was shot and killed at a home off Maple Avenue in east Austin. The world-class cyclist was in Texas preparing to compete in a race. Wilson was originally from Vermont.
Austin Police questioned Armstrong after the murder but did not arrest her at the time, U.S. Marshals said.
Austin Police issued a warrant for Armstrong’s arrest on May 17, a few days after she had already fled the state. Armstrong also sold her black Jeep to a CarMax dealership in south Austin on May 13 before leaving Texas, U.S. Marshals said.
She was captured at a Costa Rica hostel in June 2022 and transported back to the U.S.
