The sick 29-year-old helped then-boyfriend Nathan Matthews kill 16-year-old Becky in Bristol in 2015.
But on Friday she was released on licence from HMP Bronzefield in Surrey and was taken to a probation hostel in Berkshire.
We snapped Hoare enjoying the sun while walking through a shopping precinct.
Becky’s mum Tanya said: “Shauna Hoare is pure evil. She shouldn’t be allowed out at all. I don’t want her to sneak out of prison under the radar.

“People should know Hoare is back out on the streets.”
This comes as a fellow inmate told The Sun that Hoare showed “not one bit of remorse” in jail, and guards treated her like a VIP.
A source told The Sun: “Shauna arrived at the hostel on Friday morning. She’s been out shopping and enjoys a ciggie in the garden.
“She doesn’t seem to have a care in the world and has been telling everyone how thrilled she is to be out. She’s also been boasting her licensing conditions are pretty soft.

“She has to wear a GPS tag, abide by a curfew and has to give her phone for inspection on demand, but that’s about it. As far as she’s concerned life is good.”
The source added that Hoare changed her hair colour in a bid to hide her identity.
They added: “She still looks like the same evil b**** but has long blonde hair now.
“If I had done something as bad as her I’d want to disguise myself as well. The neighbours around here know it’s a bail hostel but I think they’d be shocked to know someone as vile and sadistic as Shauna is living on their street.”
In November 2015 Matthews, then 28, was jailed for 33 years for murdering his step-sister Becky in a sexually-motivated kidnap plot.
Hoare was sentenced alongside him.
Becky was last seen alive at her home in the city’s St George neighbourhood on February 19, 2015.
She had been suffocated in her bedroom before her body was put in the boot of their car. Becky had suffered more than 40 injuries.

Matthews and Hoare stayed at the house for six hours as if nothing had happened, ordering a takeaway, playing Monopoly and laughing over a parody song from Frozen called Do You Want to Hide a Body?
Hundreds of residents searched for Becky. But the city was left horrified in March when the teen’s body was found near Matthews and Hoare’s flat in Barton Hill.
Grieving Tanya added: “Hoare is only 30, a young woman with the chance of starting a new life.
“But my Becky was only 16, her life was taken from her. Hoare only got manslaughter but she was the brains behind it.
“She is manipulative. I’ll never forget how she fluttered her eyelids at the judge and jury. She was there when Becky was murdered, she could have run to the police.
“But she did nothing. She should have got life. The system is too soft here, if this was America she would still be behind bars.”
Referring to a 2017 Channel 5 documentary, Becky Watts: Killed for Kicks, Tanya added: “I hate the phrase killed for kicks, but that’s exactly what happened to my daughter.”
Tanya added: “I felt numb when it happened and that feeling has never left me. I’m like a zombie, I never go out, I’ll never get over it. But Hoare can get on with her life.
“The Probation Service has told me she won’t be in Bristol which is something. But she is living as a free woman somewhere. I’m not happy about it but there’s nothing I can do.”
In June 2016 Hoare and Matthews lost a bid to quash their combined sentences of 50 years. Judges said they were satisfied there is “no reasonable argument” that the convictions were “unsafe or that the sentences were wrong”.
According to the Ministry of Justice, Hoare received a standard determinate or fixed-term sentence in court.
This is the reason why she was automatically released at the halfway point of her sentence.
The MoJ insists that under new legislation offenders like her would now do two thirds of their sentence.

An MoJ spokesman said: “We know this will be an incredibly difficult time for Becky Watts’ loved ones and our heartfelt thoughts remain with them.
“Offenders like Shauna Hoare face some of the strictest licence conditions and can be put back behind bars if they break the rules at any point. We’ve also since changed the law so the most heinous offenders face longer than ever in prison.”
