Investigators believe Armstrong, 34, was at the Austin International Bergstrom Airport on May 14 — three days after Wilson was found dead — when she boarded a flight to Houston Hobby Airport. She then boarded a connecting flight to New York LaGuardia Airport, U.S. Marshal officials revealed in a release Wednesday.

Armstrong is accused of shooting Wilson in a jealous rage due to a love triangle between Wilson, Armstrong and Armstrong's boyfriend Colin Strickland. On May 11, Wilson was found by a friend "lying on the bathroom floor covered in blood," according to an affidavit obtained by The Washington Post. She was later pronounced dead by paramedics.

A surveillance photo shared by the U.S Marshals shows someone they said is Armstrong at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport at around 12:30 p.m. on May 14. Armstrong is white, stands 5'8" and weighs 125 pounds with light brown long, curly hair and hazel eyes. She was allegedly last seen on the airport surveillance wearing a blue denim jacket, black shirt with a pink design on the chest, white jeans, black and white tennis shoes, a black COVID-19 mask, and a possible yoga mat carrier on her shoulders.

In an interview with ABC News Tuesday, Armstrong's father said he does not believe his daughter is capable of murder.
