'Justice for Mo': Reactions as Kaitlin Armstrong found guilty of killing Anna Moriah Wilson

On Thursday afternoon, Kaitlin Armstrong was found guilty in the first-degree murder of Anna Moriah Wilson, a 25-year-old rising star in the cycling world. Armstrong may face up to 99 years in prison.

Wilson died from multiple gunshot wounds in East Austin on May 11, 2022. Armstrong targeted Wilson because of her romantic involvement with Colin Strickland, Armstrong's former boyfriend and professional gravel cyclist.

Following a love triangle murder case and a 43-day-long manhunt, both of which captured international attention, Kaitlin Armstrong's guilty verdict elicited reactions from far and wide.
