Lexington, Kentucky police have charged three men in connection with the shooting that killed Trinity Gay, the 15 year old daughter of Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay.
As we previously reported, Trinity died after being struck in the neck during an early Sunday morning gunfight between people in two vehicles in a restaurant parking lot. She was taken to a hospital, where she later passed away.
According to police and local reports, Chazerae, 38, and his son D’Markeo, 19, were arrested and charged with wanton endangerment. Dvonta, 21, the man they were reportedly shooting at, was also arrested and charged with wanton endangerment and a weapons charge. All three have been charged but not convicted. A court hearing was scheduled for Monday afternoon at Fayette County District Court.
The Gay family thanked the public for its support and asked for continued prayers and privacy. The family also said it believes in love and forgiveness and asked for prayers for the three men and their families.
Police say the investigation is still active and more information could follow. Our thoughts are with the Gay family.
