As details of the murder of gravel star Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson begin to emerge, including an arrest warrant for Caitlin Marie Armstrong, 34, another famous gravel racer, Colin Strickland, has admitted to being romantically involved with two women at different times. Strickland admitted to having been romantically involved with two women at different times.

Wilson was shot and killed on the night of May 11, 2022. Police are still searching for Armstrong, who is charged with felony first-degree murder.

In a statement posted on social media by KVUE Austin investigative journalist Tony Plohetski, Strickland claimed that his relationship with Wilson was "platonic and professional" and "I feel about my proximity to this horrible crime. There is no way to adequately describe the regret and torture I feel," he wrote.

Strickland admitted to having a one-week romantic relationship with Wilson late last year when he and Armstrong broke up. Wilson returned to California, and Strickland said he later reunited with Armstrong.

Wilson was staying with a friend at an apartment on Maple Street in Austin to compete in the Gravel Locos Race on May 14, 2022. According to a search warrant issued earlier this week, Wilson sent a text message to the friend saying that she was going swimming with a male friend. She returned home a few hours later.

When the friend returned to the apartment, Wilson was unresponsive and "covered in blood" from being shot multiple times. She was pronounced dead from gunshot wounds and the case was ruled a homicide.

Police obtained security camera footage from a neighbor indicating that another vehicle arrived after Wilson returned to her apartment, which police allegedly matched to an SUV registered to a South Austin woman. Police then issued an arrest warrant for Armstrong.

In his statement, Strickland did not say whether he saw Wilson that night, but said he was cooperating with investigators and confirmed his relationship with Armstrong.

I am saddened by Mo Wilson's death and upset by the facts that have come to light during the investigation. I cannot imagine the pain that Mo Wilson's family and close friends are feeling.

There is no way to adequately express my regret and torture for my own proximity to this horrific crime. I am sorry and unable to comprehend this unfathomable tragedy.

It will be of small comfort to those who cared about Mo, but please know that since learning this terrible news, I have cooperated fully with the investigating authorities and will continue to do so until justice is served in some form.

As a point of clarification to the previously reported facts, Moriah Wilson and I had a brief romantic relationship in late October and early November 2021, about a week during which Wilson was visiting Austin.

At the time, both she and I had recently ended our relationship. She returned to her home in California, and about a month later, Caitlin Armstrong and I reconciled and resumed our relationship.

Since then, I have seen Mo often at cycling events and always in public. The two of us competed in Bentonville, AR, Stillwater, and Monterey, CA. We also did a four-hour training ride in Santa Cruz after the Sea Other (among others) Classic in Monterey.

After a brief fling in October 2021, we were not romantically involved, only platonic and professional. We had no intention of pursuing along a subsidiary romantic relationship that would mislead anyone. Moriah and I were both leaders in the solitary and niche sport of cycling, and I greatly respected her and considered her a close friend. I am deeply saddened by her passing.
