Daughter Of Olympian Shot Dead


Story out of Lexington, Kentucky:

Trinity Gay, 15, a rising star on the track team at Lafayette High School, and the daughter of Lexington native and Olympian Tyson Gay has died after a shooting at a Lexington restaurant.

The Fayette County Coroner says that Trinity Gay died from her injuries just before 5 a.m. Sunday.

WKYT talked to one of Trinity's friends, who was with her the night of the shooting.

"I just felt so bad because I just keep replaying her in my face 'you got to help me, god help me,' but there was nothing we could do. I was scared," Taylor MIddleton told WKYT's Sabirah Rayford.

Middleton says she was next to Trinity when she was shot. She says they were in the parking lot when the first round of shots were fired. She noticed Trinity had been shot, but they couldn't do anything at first. When the shots stopped, Middleton says some friends put Trinity Gay in the car and drove to the hospital.

"Trinity, like, leads against door and when she went lay against the door, she likes starts to fall asleep. So Lexi was like 'you got to get up, you got to get her up,' so I grab her and I start shaking her and I was like 'come on Trinity got to stay up, you got to stay up," Middleton described.

She says when they got to hospital, Trinity was not in good shape. She says they couldn't tell she had been shot in the neck. Middleton says its a hard memory to live with.

Fayette County Schools has activated their Crisis Team, and they will be at Lafeyette High School on Monday to help students and staff who need help dealing with the loss of Gay. Cont. (Video)
