Three charged after shooting death of sprinter Tyson Gay's daughter

Authorities in Kentucky have charged three men, including a father and son, in connection with the shooting death of Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay's 15-year-old daughter outside a restaurant over the weekend, police said.

Trinity Gay was caught in an exchange of gunfire between the occupants of two vehicles at about 4 a.m. local time on Sunday in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant in her hometown of Lexington, police said.

She was transported by private vehicle to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead, police said.

Father and son Chazerae Taylor, 38, and D'markeo Taylor, 19, were charged with wanton endangerment in connection with the shooting. Dvonta Middlebrooks, 21, was charged with wanton endangerment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, Lexington police said in a statement late on Sunday.

11. When I was on my high-school soccer team, some games I up at 3am and out the door at 4am

with a very groggy father getting ready to head out for a 9am game that was three-four hours away. (Mom never got a driver's license for some reason, and stayed home with my brother) We'd stop around 6:30 or so at a Denny's for a second breakfast just so he was able to keep going.

If she was Tyson Gay's daughter, she could very well have been getting ready to go to or coming back from an out of town sports meet.

7. And just like the thousands of deaths in Chicago, no one will march or protest for this killing.

Fascinating.

8. Not really fair

I do agree that there is a lot of work to do in the inner city cultures. But there are many within those communities trying to change it.
