Anna Moriah ''Mo'' Wilson won a number of races and was considered to be a rising star. She also did a part-time job as a demand planner for the noted bicycle company, Specialized. A few weeks prior to her death, Wilson had quit her part-time job to pursue a full-time career as a professional cyclist.
As per NBC News, a journalist for FloBikes, Sheehan, mentioned that Wilson could have been a famous name in international cycling. He said (obtained via NBC News):
''A former alpine skier at Dartmouth, the Vermont native moved to northern California after graduating in 2019. She began making a name for herself in local races, and as larger events came back to life following the 2020 shutdown, Wilson burst onto the national scene swinging.''
Sheehan further stated:
''Mo was not only a force to be reckoned with in a bike race, she was cherished by seemingly everyone around her.''
Wilson was found dead at her friend's place on May 11, 2022. She was reportedly shot multiple times. That same day, Wilson went for a swim with a friend and fellow cyclist, Colin Strickland. According to E! News, Strickland and Wilson were allegedly involved in a fling sometime in October-November 2021 when Strickland briefly split with his girlfriend, Kaitlin Armstrong.
Strickland reportedly mentioned that ever since he got back into a relationship with Armstrong, he's never been involved romantically with Wilson, although the two continued to stay in touch. Authorities reportedly found a gun at Wilson's home that he'd bought for Armstrong, and they believe that the shell casings found by Wilson's body could have come from that gun. Armstrong was later arrested in June 2022 in Costa Rica.
