I’m assuming from all I’ve read, that KA simply shot MW and fled. Reports say the roommate found Wilson unconscious on the bathroom floor, bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds, called 911 and tried to administer cpr while she waited for EMT to arrive.
Police also attempted cpr but EMT pronounced her dead at the scene.
She must have clung to life before the roommate came home, and slightly after. It was nearly 1 1/2 hours from the shooting, to the roommate’s arrival.
@Howl Here is the timeline:
Late afternoon, May 11: Wilson texts the friend at whose home she was staying to say she is going to go swimming with Colin. The friend goes home (
#1 on map) “to speak with Wilson about her going out with Colin.” The affidavit does not specify whether this friend is the same woman who later told police that she knew Armstrong had warned Wilson to stay away from Strickland.
5:30 p.m.: Wilson’s host leaves the apartment to go to dinner with other friends. On the way out, she sees that Wilson has left a bike travel bag on the porch outside the second-floor unit. She briefly goes back inside to remind Wilson to bring it in.
5:45: Strickland’s estimation of the time he arrived on his motorcycle to take Wilson to the pool.
5:55: The keypad at the friend’s home registers that it has been locked.
Evening: Strickland and Wilson are at Deep Eddy swimming pool (
#2 on map) and then at adjacent Pool Burger.
8:16: Strickland and Wilson leave Pool Burger on his motorcycle.
8:26: A vehicle identified as Armstrong’s Jeep Grand Cherokee is seen driving around the block where Wilson is staying.
8:36: The keypad at the friend’s home registers Wilson’s entry code.
8:36: Strickland stops at the end of the alley after dropping off Wilson and sends Armstrong a text message telling her he is on his way home. He does not say he has been with Wilson, instead claiming he had been to drop off some flowers for a friend of the couple’s and that his phone had died.
8:37: Armstrong’s Jeep is seen on a street next to Wilson’s friend’s home.
Between 8:30 and 9:30: Wilson’s friend’s landlord, who lives in the larger home on the property, goes into the garage, which is beneath the rental unit. While he is there, he hears what he believes is someone running down the stairs from the apartment to the alley. From beneath the partly raised garage door, he sees a bicyclist southbound in the alley. (The only item later determined to be missing from the apartment is Wilson’s bike. It is found concealed in vegetation about 20 yards south.)
8:43: Strickland’s estimation of the time he arrived at his home in the East Congress neighborhood (
#3 on map), about 7 miles from Wilson’s friend’s home. (Surveillance video from a nearby car dealership indicates he passed by a few minutes later, at 8:48.) Around that time, he said, he sent Armstrong a second text.
9:21: Strickland sends Armstrong a third text message. Shortly after that, he told police, she drove up in the Jeep.
9:54: Wilson’s friend returns home. The bike travel bag is now at the bottom of the stairs, and the apartment door is unlocked. Inside she finds Wilson on the bathroom floor covered in blood.
9:56: Wilson’s friend calls 911 and begins performing CPR.
10:10: Wilson is pronounced dead after police arrive.
The suspect disappeared after leaving a police interview and is now being sought by U.S. marshals.
