Wilson passed away last week at an apartment in Austin on May 11.
Her friend returned home to find the pro-athlete shot dead in a pool of blood.
Investigators concluded Wilson had been struck several times with a 9mm round and suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Her family started a Go Fund Me page that reads:
“On May 11th, 2022, Moriah ‘Mo’ Wilson passed away in Austin, Texas, where she was preparing to compete in the Gravel Locos bike race. In her short time here, Moriah inspired many, lived fully, and loved fiercely.
“In her memory, we are raising money to help fund community organizations that help youth find self-confidence, strength, and joy through biking, skiing, and other activities that Moriah was passionate about.
“With your generosity, and Mo’s loving spirit, let’s help as many youth as possible pursue their dreams.”
The message was signed by an Eric, Karen, and Matt.
Cops accuse Kaitlin Armstrong of murdering Wilson, her love rival, in a jealous rage.
The 34-year-old yoga teacher from Texas is being pursued by the FBI as a suspect in Wilson’s death.
According to police, Armstrong has deleted all of her social media accounts and has yet to be arrested.
Moriah had a brief fling with her boyfriend, Colin Strickland, 35, last year.
Strickland, who is also a professional cyclist, met Wilson back in October.
The pair reportedly met up for a swim on May 11, right before Wilson was shot dead.
