The daughter of Olympian Tyson Gay died early Sunday morning following a shooting at a Lexington, Ky., restaurant, WKYT-TV reported.

Trinity Gay, 15, was a rising star on the track team at Lafayette High School and had placed multiple times at the state level.

According to the report, Lexington police responded to a call of shots fired at a Cook Out restaurant just before 4 a.m. ET after two cars exchanged fire then drove away. Trinity, who was not in either car, was taken to UK Hospital with a gunshot wound to her neck but died from her injuries just before 5 a.m. ET.


Tyson confirmed the tragic news Sunday on WLEX-TV, adding he is at the airport and on his way to his hometown of Lexington.

"She didn’t make it," Tyson said. "I’m so confused. She was just here last week for fall break. It’s so crazy. I have no idea what happened."

Police are still searching for one of the vehicles involved, but are questioning two people as persons of interest because their car matched a description of the other vehicle involved.
