Our hearts ache for any parent who has to deal with loosing a child. Unfortunately, Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay and his daughter’s mother Soshana Boyd are facing this horrific reality.
Tracj & Field star Tyson Gay’s 15-year-old daughter Trinity Gay was fatally shot in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant about 4AM on Sunday in her hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. She got caught in the crossfire of two vehicles firing bullets at one another.
According to police, the 15-year-old was transported by a private vehicle to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Due to quick police work, three men, including a father and son, have been charged in connection to her death and a homicide investigation is ongoing.
38-year-old Chazerae Taylor (father), 19-year-old D'markeo Taylor (son) and 21-year-old Dvonta Middlebrooks are the three men arrested. Chazerae and D’markeo have been charged with with wanton endangerment in connection with the shooting, while Dvonta has been charged with wanton endangerment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Following in her father’s footsteps, Trinity attended Lafayette High School where she was a promising track competitor and a cheerleader. Her father, who competed at the Summer Olympic Games in Rio this year, won a silver medal at the 2012 London Games in the 4x100 meters relay run.
Tyson briefly spoke to the media early Monday morning in shock that his daughter is no longer here, saying, "She didn't make it. I'm so confused. She was just here last week for fall break. It's so crazy."
So tragic and unnecessary! We’re sending our condolences and prayers to Tyson, Trinity’s mother and their families during this tragic time.
