Lexington, Ky. — The 15-year-old daughter of Olympian Tyson Gay died early Sunday at University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital after a shooting at Cook Out restaurant in Lexington, according to the Fayette County coroner.

Trinity Gay was shot in the neck about 4 a.m., police said.

Trinity died at 4:41 a.m., according to the coroner. She was taken to another hospital by a private vehicle before being transferred to UK hospital, police said.

Trinity was a top sprinter for Lafayette High School, where her father Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay, a Lexington, Ky., native, also attended.

Kentucky High School Athletic Association commissioner Julian Tackett tweeted that he was “shocked to hear of death of Trinity Gay. A life of such potential cut so tragically short. Sympathies to Tyson and entire family.”

Condolences also were offered to the Gay family by fellow Olympian Ato Boldon, USA Track and Field and others in the track community.

Tyson Gay told WLEX-TV, “She didn’t make it. I’m so confused. She was just here last week for fall break. It’s so crazy. I have no idea what happened.”

He said he was flying back to Lexington on Sunday.

Her mother, Shoshana Boyd told the New York Daily News, “She was so innocent. She was so innocent. I just want people to stop shooting and realize who they’re hurting. It’s just random. They don’t understand. They don’t understand who they’re hurting.”

Her daughter’s dreams included being a surgeon and achieving Olympic success, Boyd told the Lexington Daily News.

College FootballPurdue Fires Coach

West Lafayette, Ind. — Purdue fired coach Darrell Hazell on Sunday midway through his fourth season, ending his tenure with the worst winning percentage of any Boilermakers coach in 95 years.

Hazell was 9-33 overall (.220) since taking over in 2013, and his dismissal had seemed almost inevitable entering this season. A 3-2 start with victories against FCS opponents Eastern Kentucky, Nevada and Illinois gave some hope that he would be given one last full season to show progress. But new Purdue athletic director Mike Bobinski, who was hired away from Georgia Tech in August, decided to make the change in the middle of the season.

Wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Gerad Parker was named interim coach. Parker is in his fourth season on staff.

Ogwumike, the league MVP, scored 11 points on 5 of 10 shooting, while two-time MVP Parker shot 4 of 14 for 14 points for the Sparks, who were trying to close out their first title since 2002 in front of their fans at Staples Center.

Chelsea Gray led the Sparks with 20 points off the bench. She was 6 of 11 and made all four of her free throws.
