Moriah Wilson came from a family of athletes. The 25-year-old elite cyclist was preparing for another race before she was killed
Wilson’s family is mourning the loss of their “beautiful daughter and sister,” who excelled as a biker and skier. “Moriah was a talented, kind, and caring young woman. Her life was taken from her before she had the opportunity to achieve everything she dreamed of,” the family said.
Here’s what we know so far about Wilson, why police believe she may have been targeted and her short-lived success in the burgeoning sport of gravel racing.
Wilson was a star skier in her younger years but recently became a high-level cyclist. She particularly excelled at “gravel racing,” a relatively new category of cycling that sits in a hybrid middle ground between road cycling and mountain biking.
A profile in VeloNews published the day she died referred to her as “the winningest woman in the American off-road scene.” Wilson had won nearly 10 races this year, including the Shasta Gravel Hugger and Rock Cobbler in California, according to the article. Last month, she won the 137-mile Belgian Waffle Ride by 25 minutes over the second-place finisher.
Wilson wrote about her racing experiences on her Instagram and in a Substack newsletter. In March, she reflected on her second place finish at The Mid South race and reflected briefly on her rise to the top of the field.
“This race was the first time in my career (I can call it a career at this point) that I truly felt like I had a target on my back,” she wrote. “Was I nervous? Heck yeah! But more than anything I was excited.”
At the time of her death, Wilson was just days from participating in the Gravel Locos bike race. The day after the race, an event organizer remembered her on Facebook as a “role model, a shy compassionate person, a spirited tactical racer and a competitor that genuinely cared about those competing against you.”
Wilson had recently moved back to her home state of Vermont. While growing up, she was a consummate athlete, skiing in the winter and mountain biking in the summer. Her father Eric Wilson skied for the US National Ski team, and her aunt Laura was a Nordic skier and competed at the Olympics, she told VeloNews.
She, too, picked up the sport competitively. “In alpine skiing, Moriah rose to the level of a nationally ranked junior skier, placing 3rd in the 2013 U.S. Junior National Championship Downhill event,” her obituary states. While attending Dartmouth University, she was a member of the Alpine Ski Team, “fulfilling a lifelong dream,” the obituary says.
Wilson also was the captain of her high school soccer team, according to her Dartmouth athletic profile.
After college, she moved away from skiing toward competitive biking.
“Growing up in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, she spent many hours on the Kingdom Trails developing her skills and strength as a biker,” the obituary states. “After graduating from Dartmouth, Moriah shifted gears and continued to pursue her athletic dreams as an elite bike racer.”
Outside of sports, she enjoyed “cooking, writing, and traveling,” it says, adding, “she especially loved Italy, Taco Tuesdays, maple creemees and playing Catan with her friends.”
How the shooting unfolded
On May 11, Wilson was shot multiple times while staying at a friend’s home in Austin ahead of the Gravel Locos race in Hico, according to an arrest affidavit filed in Travis County District Court.
Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, a 34-year-old Austin resident, is wanted for homicide in the killing and is now a fugitive, the US Marshals said.
Both women had recently been in romantic relationships with the same man — professional cyclist Colin Strickland — and messages and interviews with tipsters suggest jealousy could be a potential motive, according to the affidavit.
On the day of the killing, Wilson told her friend she was going for an afternoon swim with Strickland, the affidavit says — a detail Strickland confirmed in an interview with police. They had dinner together afterward and he then dropped her off at her friend’s home, Strickland said. He did not go inside.
Austin Police responded to the home later that evening, shortly before 10 p.m. CT, and found Wilson with multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The shooting did not appear to be “a random act,” police said in a May 14 news release.
Police issued a homicide warrant on May 17 for Armstrong. The affidavit for her arrest points in part to video surveillance obtained by investigators that shows a vehicle similar to hers near the home shortly before Wilson’s body was found.
In addition, investigators compared ballistics from the scene with those of bullets test-fired from a firearm Strickland had recently purchased for Armstrong, and the “potential that the same firearm was involved is significant,” the document says.
Per the affidavit, Strickland told police he has not had contact with Armstrong since May 13.
Within 24 hours of Wilson’s death, officers from the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force apprehended Armstrong in connection with an unrelated arrest warrant and spoke to her. However, Austin Police said they then learned Armstrong’s arrest warrant was not valid and told her she was free to leave.
Armstrong requested to end the interview and left after detectives began confronting her about the security camera video that placed her car near the crime scene, the affidavit states.
Wilson had past relationship with suspect’s boyfriend
In a statement to the Austin American-Statesman, Strickland said he had a “brief romantic relationship” with Wilson from late October to early November 2021, while he was separated from Armstrong.
Strickland and Armstrong reconciled and resumed their relationship about a month later, he told the paper. His relationship with Wilson then became “platonic and professional” and he considered her a “close friend,” he said.
“There is no way to adequately express the regret and torture I feel about my proximity to this horrible crime,” Strickland said, per the newspaper. “I am sorry, and I simply cannot make sense of this unfathomable situation.”
The affidavit cites a tipster who alleged Armstrong came to believe Strickland and Wilson’s romantic relationship was ongoing as of January 2022. Strickland admitted to trying to hide his communications with Wilson from Armstrong by changing Wilson’s name in his phone and deleting texts, the affidavit says.
Armstrong had contacted Wilson several times and in one instance told her to “stay away” from Strickland, one of Wilson’s friends told investigators, according to the affidavit.
Wilson was not in any romantic relationship at the time of her death, her family said in a statement.
“While we will not elaborate about the ongoing investigation, we do feel it’s important to clarify that at the time of her death, those closest to her clearly understood, directly from Moriah, that she was not in a romantic relationship with anyone,” the family said.
Police Confirm Investigation Into Death of Chris Daughtry’s 25-Year-Old Daughter – NBC New York
For the investigation into the unexpected death of rocker Chris Daughtry’s daughter, the sheriff’s office in Tennessee cautioned that it’s too premature to classify the case as a homicide.
“On Friday, November 12, 2021, the Fentress County Sheriff’s Office and the Regional Forensic Center began an investigation into the death of Hannah Marie Price, age 25,” read a press release from district attorney general Jared Effler from the 8th Judicial District of Tennessee.
Effler said the sheriff’s office is treating the case as a “death investigation.” He added that “any attempt to classify it as a homicide investigation at this time is premature and irresponsible.”
“Once the investigation into the death of Hannah Marie Price is complete, authorities will forward their findings to the 8th Judicial District Attorney General’s Office for review,” he said.
Daughtry shared the sad news of his daughter’s death on social media late Friday, along with a statement that confirmed shows for the coming week would be postponed or canceled.
The “American Idol” alum posted a heartfelt tribute to his daughter on Sunday and said he was “still processing the last 24 hours.”
“I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken. I just recently lost my mother to cancer but I was blessed with the chance to say goodbye and I was processing it privately. We never got to say goodbye to our precious Hannah and it’s another huge hit to our family,” Daughtry wrote. “Thank you all for your kind words and condolences. They are truly felt and appreciated. I am now taking time be present with my family as we attempt to heal from this devastating loss. Hannah, I love you. I miss you. I wish I could hold you. This hurts so deeply.”

Ahmaud Arbery shooting: Why the first responding officer didn’t provide first aid to the 25-year-old Black man shot and killed while jogging
Former Glynn County Police Officer Ricky Minshew said when he arrived at the scene of the shooting on February 23, 2020, his immediate focus was on officer safety.
“When I get to a scene, I scan the area for any immediate threats, and then scan the area for any victims that need emergency medical aid,” Minshew said.
Minshew — who testified he was in the area responding to a report of a “suspicious Black male” before hearing “two loud pop sounds” — came upon the location of the shooting and said saw two White men pacing while Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, was on the ground bleeding from his wounds.
Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and their neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan Jr., are charged with malice and felony murder in the shooting of Arbery, who was jogging in a residential area before being chased by the men in two vehicles. Bryan trailed the McMichaels and recorded video of the shooting. Minshew identified the trio in court as being at the scene.
Minshew testified that after seeing Arbery lying on the ground, he notified dispatch to send emergency medical personnel to the area, then worked to preserve “scene integrity” for investigators.
When asked by prosecutor Larissa Ollivierre how Arbery appeared, Minshew said he was face-down and looked “unresponsive to his surroundings, he appeared to be deceased,” and noted the amount of blood underneath him was “exceeding the perimeter of his body.”
Minshew said he heard from Arbery a type of labored breathing he knew as a “death rattle,” and said he had encountered similar situations in the past where people did not survive much longer.
Ollivierre asked Minshew if he performed CPR, to which he said no, stating he did not because “I did not know any of the people or any of the facts or circumstances to what had happened.”
Minshew testified, “Being that I was the only officer on scene, without having any other police units to watch my back, there was no way I could have switched my attention to anything medical and still be able to watch my surroundings and watch after my own safety.”
He also told prosecutors he did not have the adequate training to render aid, and his vehicle lacked proper equipment to help gunshot wounds or critical injuries.
Body camera footage was shown in court
Graphic footage from Minshew’s body camera was shown to the jury Monday by the defense team in an effort to show “inconsistent statements” made by the former officer, arguing Minshew’s response time to the scene was off.
The video shows Gregory and Travis McMichael pacing near the body of Arbery. Travis McMichael can be seen wearing jeans and a T-shirt with blood on the back of his head and arms.
Prosecutors on Monday played the extended version of William Bryan’s cell phone video of the chase and shooting for the court.
Wanda Cooper-Jones, Ahmaud Arbery’s mother, saw the video showing the shooting of her son for the first time in court Friday and told CNN’s Chris Cuomo Monday she hoped the video would show the jury Arbery had done nothing wrong before he was killed.
“I’m hoping that the jury see what the world see, is that Ahmaud hadn’t committed a crime,” Cooper-Jones said. “He was simply out for a jog. He did stop by that unoccupied home but again, Ahmaud didn’t commit a crime and Ahmaud was chased and eventually killed.”

Ahmaud Arbery: Murder trial for the killing of 25-year-old Black man set to begin with jury selection in Georgia
Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan Jr. are charged with malice and felony murder and have pleaded not guilty. They also face charges of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment.
Jury selection in their state trial begins Monday.
Arbery was fatally shot February 23, 2020, while out jogging in Brunswick, Georgia, in an incident partly captured on video. The McMichaels said they were conducting a citizen’s arrest on Arbery, who they suspected of burglary, and that Travis McMichael shot him with a shotgun in self-defense. Bryan, who recorded the video, allegedly hit Arbery with his truck after he joined the McMichaels in chasing Arbery.
After the shooting, the three men were allowed to leave the scene and weren’t arrested until after video of the incident was made public in early May.
The video and the delay in making the arrests, along with the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor last year, helped spark nationwide Black Lives Matter protests that challenged how the legal system treats Black people.
The McMichaels and Bryan have also been indicted on federal hate crime and attempted kidnapping charges. They have pleaded not guilty to those charges as well.
With its focus on video evidence, the case bears some resemblance to the murder trial of ex-Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murder in Floyd’s death. In addition, the issues of vigilantism and self-defense offer similarities to the trial of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman who was acquitted in 2013 of killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
How we got here
Arbery was shot dead in a confrontation with Travis and Gregory McMichael in the neighborhood of Satilla Shores, outside the city of Brunswick in Georgia’s lowcountry.
Arbery was on a jog — something he was known to do, according to those who knew him — when the McMichaels grabbed their guns and pursued Arbery. Gregory McMichael, a former police officer and investigator in the local District Attorney’s Office, later told police Arbery and his son had struggled over his son’s shotgun, and that Travis McMichael shot Arbery after the latter attacked him, according to the initial police report.
Bryan had also joined the pursuit and recorded the shooting on his cellphone.
Gregory McMichael told police he and his son had pursued Arbery because they suspected he was responsible for a string of recent purported burglaries in the neighborhood. A Glynn County Police spokesperson later said there had only been one burglary — a gun stolen from an unlocked vehicle in front of the McMichaels’ home — reported in more than seven weeks prior to the shooting.
Additionally, McMichael said he saw Arbery inside a home under construction. Arbery was seen entering the home in surveillance video at the site, but the owner of the home told CNN he did not see Arbery commit any crime other than “trespassing” the day of the shooting.
For months, the case lay dormant, and two prosecutors recused themselves from the case due to conflicts of interest.
But in May, video taken by Bryan of the fatal interaction was made public, and the McMichaels were arrested days later. The three were all jointly indicted by a grand jury in June 2020.
At a preliminary hearing last June, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Assistant Special Agent in Charge Richard Dial testified that Bryan told investigators he heard Travis McMichael use a racial epithet after shooting Arbery. McMichael had also used racial slurs numerous times on social media and on messaging services, Dial said.
Attorneys for the three defendants have said they acted in self-defense. But Dial testified the opposite was true.
“I believe Mr. Arbery was being pursued, and he ran till he couldn’t run anymore, and it was turn his back to a man with a shotgun or fight with his bare hands against the man with the shotgun. He chose to fight,” he said. “I believe Mr. Arbery’s decision was to just try to get away, and when he felt like he could not escape he chose to fight.”
The district attorney at the time, Jackie Johnson, was voted out of office amid the backlash. In September, she was indicted on charges of violating her oath as a public officer and obstructing a police officer for allegedly interfering with the arrest of Travis McMichael. Johnson has denied wrongdoing.

A 25-year-old man who had to get a double lung transplant after falling ill with COVID-19 in April said the virus made his lungs look like “chewed up pieces of bubblegum.”
Blake Bargatze from Georgia, who had no underlying health issues, was admitted to ICU earlier this year after he fell seriously ill from the coronavirus.
During his stay, his condition worsened and doctors told him to survive, he needed a new set of lungs. In June, he got a double lung transplant.
The 25-year-old told Insider he was shocked at how quickly COVID-19 attacked his body.
“It just ate away my lungs,” he said. “They literally looked up like chewed up pieces of bubblegum by the time they took them out. They were riddled with holes. I was just fortunate enough to not have multiple organ failures.”
Bargatze is among the few people to have successfully received a double lung transplant as a result of the coronavirus, which has so far killed more than 687,000 Americans, according to a tracker by Johns Hopkins University.
He believes he contracted the virus at a concert in Florida back in March, which he now regrets attending. Although he was wearing a mask, he was not vaccinated at the time.
This is in part because he wasn’t eligible for a vaccination yet, but also because he wanted to wait and was worried about the side effects, according to his mother.
She told WXIA: “He wanted to wait until it was out like 10 years or so, kind of like a lot of the population wants it to be out longer.”
But now, the 25-year-old is urging other people to get their vaccinations.
“I’m trying to make people become more aware of what realistically can happen with this virus. It’s just not worth the risk,” he told Insider.
He also said that many people are still being “reckless” even as the highly infectious Delta variant continues to cause a rise in hospitalizations, especially among those who are unvaccinated.
But life is looking up for the 25-year-old, who hopes he can soon return to his favorite hobbies, including fishing and playing pool with his friends. He is due to go back to work this week, something he says is “a huge achievement” for him.
Although he is still taking 50 pills a day, Bargate is happy to be walking again and is “grateful to be alive.” He has since also gotten both his COVID-19 vaccinations.
A GoFundMe page has since been set up to help Bargatze’s family pay for his medical bills.
