Olympian Star Tyson Gay's Daughter Shot Dead at a Restaurant




Olympian Tyson Gay's 15-year-old daughter has been shot dead at a Kentucky restaurant.
Trinity Gay, herself a rising track star, was shot in the neck at Cook Out restaurant in Lexington early Sunday morning.

She died at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, the coroner's office for Fayette County said in a statement.

Tyson, who will be flying back to Lexington Sunday, told LEX 18: 'She didn't make it. I'm so confused. She was just here last week for fall break. It's so crazy. I have no idea what happened.'
Her mother,  Shoshana Boyd, told the New York Daily News: 'She was so innocent, she was so innocent.

'She wanted to be the fastest woman in the world, and they took that away from her.'

Officers went to the parking lot of the restaurant near the University of Kentucky campus at about 4am after witnesses reported gunfire was exchanged between two vehicles, Lexington police said in a statement.

The vehicles have been described as a gray Dodge Charger and a dark-colored sports car with tinted windows. 

Police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said police don't believe Trinity, who died shortly before 5am, was in either of the cars involved.

Officers located one of the vehicles and stopped two people for questioning, the statement added.

Police were still searching for the second vehicle and are continuing to investigate.
