TX - Moriah Wilson, 25, Cyclist Fatally Shot Before Race, Austin, 2022 *arrest* #6

Brianna said it was Moriah he visited in Colorado... but the other reporter is tweeting like maybe it was a different woman. Maybe the state is establishing a background of CS felt he needed to keep his friendships with other women hidden from KA?

That’s when purchasing guns became the wrong idea.

I still cannot get my head around that AT ALL.

I'm confused there as well. 2 women, perhaps?

Well, if he was going to allow her to continue to live there, perhaps buying one for himself was not a bad idea, but letting her have one was clearly was not a good idea.

The state is now turning its attention to Strickland's relationship with Mo Wilson.
He met her at a racing event. He calls her the "most exceptional female racer and an obvious immense talent."
He says he wanted to help and support her career.

Strickland talking about a particular race in Bentonville, AR in 2021 where he and Mo competed. Mo won the event, Strickland placed in the 20s.
The day after the race, a friend invited him to go on a mountain bike ride with other professionals, including Mo. This ride ended up causing friction in his relationship with Armstrong: Armstrong felt left out, but Strickland says she was not skilled enough to go on a ride like that.

I took it that he went to Colorado to visit some unknown to us woman, and met up with Mo while he was there. JMO

I also thought it may have been 2 diff't trips - will have to reread the texts later

This is when trial by tweet can get confusing!

 

[JerseyWasHome2]

If I were KA, I think listening to him testify about their relationship would make me want to take the stand! She must be biting her tongue and trying not to jump out of her chair or just start talking.

CS said KA "was not skilled enough to go on a ride like that". Way to stick that knife in her and twist it.

He better hope she gets convicted, bc if she walks, he may want to move to Costa Rica.

Strickland says Armstrong was not originally a cyclist, but because he encouraged it heavily during their relationship, she bought a bike and attempted to learn. Says Armstrong was a novice but advanced quickly. She's "a natural athlete," Strickland says of Armstrong.

@alcaprari23

On the drive back to Austin from Arkansas, Armstrong was angry.
Strickland says he ended the relationship during that drive. It is Oct. 2021 at this point.
Strickland says it was clear to them both that they were no longer dating.

Apparently at that time, he had no idea how unfairly KA was willing to react to “situations” he had with other women.

Clueless, he was.

unfair? more like unhinged? Being jealous is fair, reading his texts is unfair and abusive but shooting someone crosses into another realm.

She sure was a natural athlete…we all watched her scale that wall trying to escape!

Colin says he saw Mo Wilson in #ATX 5-6 days after that mountain bike ride in Arkansas. He says Mo sent a text to Colin telling him that she was in Austin and that she recently ended her relationship. They became romantic. Colin says he didn't know where Armstrong was at this time.

But it's Texas it is common for everyone to own one. That in itself might not have been a RED FLAG.
If she was making threats towards him or others and then bought a gun immediately I would be very worried!

That is odd.

@alcaprari23

Colin says Mo Wilson traveled with him to Marfa, Texas for three days of training. At this time, he and Mo were still romantic. He can't recall texting or telling Armstrong about his relationship with Mo.
But one day, Armstrong called Mo and confronted her on the phone. Mo found that to "be strange and unnerving." Strickland says Mo and Armstrong had never met face-to-face at this point.

@alcaprari23

At the end of the trip to Marfa, Mo stayed for 2-3 more days before moving on to her next cycling event. He says they never had any conversations about having a more serious relationship. They needed more time together before making that decision, Colin says.

When I was in my mid-20s, one of my very best guy friends dated this girl who was crazy jealous and insecure and did NOT want him hanging out with me. Our relationship was 100% platonic (and always had been) but this girl would NOT LET IT GO!! They argued about it alllllll the time. She rode by my house like a million times a day... at times when he was there and at times when he wasn't. I kept asking him why in the world he would put up with that, but he believed that all girls were like that. I tried to assure him they certainly were not, but he never listened. Sadly, the girl somehow roped him into marrying her... at which point, she made him cut off all contact with me. They were only married a few years before they got a divorce (no surprise there), and he eventually called me to apologize. I forgave him, but it really hurt that he would just cut me out of his life like that (because we were seriously THE BEST OF FRIENDS!), so our relationship just hasn't ever been the same since.

Anyway... the moral of the story is that men need to stay away from insecure women. It never ends well.

LOL...if she gets off, she will be a sure bet for next season of American Ninja Warrior on tv.
