A father and his son have been arrested in connection with the death of Tyson Gay’s 15-year-old daughter … after officials say they were in a shootout with a 21-year-old man when a stray bullet struck the young girl.
The U.S. Olympic sprinter’s daughter, Trinity, was killed early Sunday morning when she was hit in the neck outside the Cook Out restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky around 4 AM.
