(NewsNation) — Kaitlin Armstrong was sentenced to 90 years in prison and a $10,000 fine after being found guilty in the May 2022 murder of professional cyclist Anna Moriah “Mo” Wilson.
The jury had started deliberations Friday morning over Armstrong’s sentencing.
Prosecutors said Armstrong killed Wilson, who was found unconscious with gunshot wounds last May in a friend’s Austin, Texas, home, out of jealousy. Wilson, they said, had previously been in a brief romantic relationship with Armstrong’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Colin Strickland, another professional cyclist.
Before her arrest, Armstrong fled the country to Costa Rica. Authorities eventually apprehended her after a 43-day search, during which investigators said Armstrong got a nose job and changed her hair color and style.

Armstrong made another attempt to escape while in custody as she was being transported to a medical appointment earlier this year.
Jurors took about two hours, after hearing two weeks’ worth of testimony, to deliver a guilty verdict for Armstrong.
