Tyson Gay's daughter fatally shot in Lexington

[SA Today] The 15-year-old daughter of Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay was fatally shot in the neck, authorities and the athlete’s agent said Sunday, and police have arrested a man in connection with the shooting.

Trinity Gay died at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, the coroner’s office for Fayette County said in a statement. The athlete’s agent, Mark Wetmore, confirmed in a text message to The Associated Press that Gay’s daughter had died.

Police on Sunday evening announced that Dvonta Middlebrooks, 21, was arrested and charged with wanton endangerment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. A statement said investigators determined that Middlebrooks was in the parking lot and fired multiple shots at the time of the incident.

Another man questioned by police has not been charged.

Lexington police said in a statement that officers went to the parking lot of a restaurant near the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington about 4 a.m. Sunday after witnesses reported an exchange of gunfire between two vehicles. Officers located one of the vehicles and stopped two people for questioning, the statement added.

Police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said police don’t believe Trinity Gay was in either of the vehicles involved.

#1 This article fails to answer questions that I think most of us would want to know. Was Ms. Gay a bystander, asleep in a building hit by gunfire or standing around watching the action? Something else?

It makes a difference.

Nothing good happens after midnight.

#2 Since the shooter wasn't a cop, who cares?

#4 I will reserve judgment until Bob Costas tells me how this is my fault.

Four in the morning...15?...come'on. Only people out at 4am are people looking for fights, to be in or watch.
