Tyson Gay's Daughter Killed after getting caught in a Crossfire in Kentucky

[dunksby]

Poor girl, only 15, feel bad for Tyson.

The 15-year-old daughter of U.S. Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay died on Sunday after being caught in an exchange of gunfire between two vehicles outside of a Kentucky restaurant, police said.

After the shooting in Lexington at about 4 a.m. EDT (0800 GMT), Trinity Gay was taken in a private vehicle to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead, the Lexington Police Department said in a statement.

Police said they have detained two people for questioning in connection with the incident. A homicide investigation is underway.

"She didn't make it. I'm so confused," Gay told the sports editor with NBC-affiliate Lex 18 television. "She was just here last week for fall break. It's so crazy."

Gay, 34, was born in Lexington and lives in a suburb of Orlando, Florida. He could not be reached for further comment.

In 2007, he won three gold medals at the World Championships in Osaka, Japan, taking titles in the 100 meter, 200 meter and 4x100m relay. He set the U.S. record in the 100-meter sprint two years later.

Gay, who made his Olympic debut in 2008, won a silver medal with the 4x100 meters relay team at the 2012 Games in London. But he lost the medal after testing positive for a banned substance in 2013.

Condolences from the track and field world poured in on social media.

What is a 15 year old girl doing out at 4 am in the morning? Shame on the parents.

First shooting in Orlando, now this...:facepalm

Where's all the marches? Where are the protests?

Black lives matter sometimes, right? Something like that...

Guy I served with was working security at the club the girl definitely wasn't at.

Very unfortunate way to go, especially so early, RIP.

Lets talk about white on white crime before we worry about terrorist muslims. http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/troll.png

I think there would. Thoughts?

I just find irony how in 1 argument we try to tell black people not to judge all cops as terrorist and they should worry about black on black crime first,

then in another argument you're all up in arms about isis invading the U.S and muslims when there's probably an equal number of corrupt cops as their are radical muslims.
Not to mention there's probably more unarmed black people getting killed than their are terrorist attacks by muslims, Whites commit the majority of terroist attacks in the u.s, shouldn't we worry about that first? :confusedshrug:

That's not what anyone is saying. I am saying... if black lives matter, then why don't you care about all black lives? Cause, you know, they don't. It's only the ones they can politicize.

So do black lives really matter? Or do they only matter sometimes, when the situation is right?

People do candle light vigils and all sorts when black people get killed, Its always discussions going on about it.

''black on black crime'' is only brought up to deflect from police brutality etc, nobody that says that actually cares.

When 9/11 happened, nobody brought up ''american on american crime'' or america disrespecting its veterans etc. Just stop it. :facepalm

[UK2K]

People do candle light vigils and all sorts when black people get killed, Its always discussions going on about it.

But are they protesting the cause? No. Because that would entail calling out members of their own race.


''black on black crime'' is only brought up to deflect from police brutality etc, nobody that says that actually cares.
It's brought up because the only time we see BLM wanting 'justice' is when a white officer (or even a black officer, it seems) shoots a career criminal who more than likely deserved it.


When 9/11 happened, nobody brought up ''american on american crime'' or america disrespecting its veterans etc. Just stop it. :facepalm

And when 5,000 blacks were shot in Chicago (so far) this year, I never saw anyone clamoring for justice. Or for the drug dealers to stop it. Where are the communities? You think they don't know what's going on? You think they can't help to stop it?

But they won't, because they don't care. Faux outrage is much more fun to bitch about, and you can loot free shit while you're at it.

[TheWinningFam]

But are they protesting the cause? No. Because that would entail calling out members of their own race. When have the conservative protested to stop white on white crime and other bullshvt before crying about isis and illegal immigrants.

Did you hear about the men of Alpha Phi Alpha, the nation's oldest black Greek-letter fraternity, marching down 79th Street last month to protest shootings in Chatham? How about the army of mothers in Englewood who gather at the scene of every shooting and patrol the streets of their neighborhood on foot? And what about the annual peace march in Grand Crossing that draws hundreds of South Siders onto the streets at the start of the school year?


It's brought up because the only time we see BLM wanting 'justice' is when a white officer (or even a black officer, it seems) shoots a career criminal who more than likely deserved it.

Again, saying blm shouldn't be protest by cops killing black people is the same as saying we shouldn't be mad at shit like 9/11 because americans kill eachother more than muslims do.

This is a sample of what you overlooked while you were busy keeping tabs on the weekly death count. You need those numbers when spouting off that blacks kill more blacks than white cops do.

Shouldn't we have vigils and be worried about white on white crime before we worry about muslims and mexicans, white people kill others at a much higher rate and commit the majority of terrorist attacks in this country. :sleeping

More black on black crime :(

The difference is.... Conservatives aren't burning down cities because of ISIS or illegal immigration. If they were, you might have an argument.

Did they protest the cause, or were they raising awareness? If you had a 'protest the drug violence' rally in Chicago, how many would show up? Not nearly as many as if a black man with a rap sheet and a gun was killed by a cop, that I can assure you.

I don't need to 'keep tabs' on them... I can safely assume there will be 60 shot and two dozen killed every weekend in Obama's stomping grounds.

If she were shot by a cop for no reason there would be a problem. Race doesn't matter.

[97 bulls]

Y2K2. What do you disagree with? Why are you holding police officers to the same accountability as criminals? How many times do we have to show you conferences in which the black community has shown that they do care about black on black violence? Another example is the "My Brothers Keeper" conference in Chicago. We do care. But when blacks are killed by the very people charge to protect them, it's a problem.

Here's the opposite end of the spectrum. We don't riot when a white person kills a black person either.

[bluechox2]

people get killed like this all the time, why the outrage when its someone of name

Probably because the news can't report every murder nationwide.

It's only outrage when its a cop.

And the media puts out a narrative that, 9 times out of 10, is nowhere close to what actually happens.

Then people believe it, cause they're stupid, then these rioters are bussed in to burn shit down.

It's like clockwork.

[Orlando Magic]

The "for no reason" being the key part here.

It's the media... and it is done purposely.

Maybe the purpose is ratings... maybe the purpose is divide and conquer... maybe, maybe just maybe it's to perpetuate the idea within the mind of a young black person that they are a systemic victim which then becomes a contributing factor to the very idea that they think they're fighting... systemic oppression.... or maybe, they're just making excuses. Sorry, had to throw that Jordan quote in there at the end, lol.

But... thinking doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. The TV "news" man told me the facts. Sensatonalizing doesn't happen ever and they AREN'T out there looking for the next story of a dead black person to falsely represent the facts of.

The entire point was that statistically, it is such an incredibly rare occurrence that it's a non issue, which is the exact opposite of what the media would have you believe.

The point was NOT that there are zero racist, criminal cops. ****s sake brah.

If she was shot under dubious circumstances by ANY person in a position of power? Yes, there probably would be protests.

This isn't what happened though, and it's unreasonable to equate being killed by criminals to being killed by those enforcing the law.

Lol. I don't even get the premise based on the argument. How did we get to the chances of a person being struck by lightning from a 15 year old black girl being killed?

The point is that there is, IS outrage over a criminal killing an innocent person. But there is gonna be more outrage when an authority figure kills people they don't have to kill. How are you missing this?

So then one black life taken by a person of authority is now more important than one taken by the same people who would protest the former.

Got it.

That's been my argument this whole time... black lives matter when you can use them as political fodder.

You don't get it and that's the problem. The instances of blacks getting gunned down by police for no reason other than being black are... statistical outliers AT ABSOLUTE BEST. It doesn't really happen. The problem is that the media and a large amount of the black community are acting as if it's happening on the daily. It's the entire reason we're having this stupid conversation.

I'm not missing it. You are. Objective reality isn't what your warped perspective deems it to be. We aren't discussing this because of an authority figures unjustly killing someone. We are discussing this because the perception is out there that it's a regular thing, BUT IT'S NOT!

There already have been protests. Summits, meetings. What the hell?

[Orlando Magic]

FYI there are multiple police officers in my personal life that have been on the force for 10+ years each that have never shot ANYONE and are strongly considering new careers out of fear of the idea that if they are ever in a position where they have to shoot a black person, their lives will be ruined.

Is that not a problem? I assure you, cops and future cops are thinking about this shit

Hey. You don't get to dictate what's a problem and what's not. I see it as a problem. When the police are shooting 12 year black kids playing with you toy guns, that's a problem. Even more, then they're being let go. You say it's rare, I say it's not rare enough. Especially when they don't have these kind of oops when the suspect is white.

You're also treating everyone who says Black Lives Matter the same. The cause means different things to different people.

You have fools on the street beating on each other and rioting who hear "black lives matter" and glob onto it without really knowing what it means.

Then you have educated and/or peaceful black men and women (and whites for that matter) who see the lack of accountability in law enforcement and wish that something we're done about it.

These are vastly different groups of people, and it doesn't really have anything to do with politics, but more about what's right. At least that's what I gather from the educated people who follow this cause. The first group of people aren't necessarily recruited for the cause, they are just a negative side effect and they hurt what Deray Mckesson and Shaun King are peacefully preaching.

Most of the people you mentioned in your first paragraph likely don't even know who those two guys are.

I was going to give you a reasonable response, but your argument has gone off the deep end.

To you, the Charlotte shooting was an oops. To everyone else, it wasn't.
To you, the Baton Rouge shooting was an oops. To everyone else, it wasn't.
To you, the Ferguson shooting was an oops. To everyone else, it wasn't.

You don't get to define the law as you see fit. You are not a judge, or a jury, nor do you have the slightlest clue about how our judicial system works.

Serious question... do you ever wonder if the media is just playing you to stir up your emotions? By the way they doctor video and audio and change shit to make it seem worse than it really is; does that not ever grab your attention and you think to yourself 'why would they want to do that?'.

Why don't all politicians? Lawyers? Accountants?

You think cops are the only job where they will cover up for each other if given the chance? Like you wouldn't?

I knew of a case where two cops in Houston were arrested for turning a blind eye to the cartels. Why did they do it? Because they were making $50k a year, but we're offered $10k a WEEK to not patrol a certain area.

Are you above that? Would you say no? I honestly couldn't answer that.

[UK2K]

In case anyone cares....

Lexington Police have charged Dvonta Middlebrooks, 21, with wanton edangerment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Police also charged Chazerae Taylor, 38, and D'markeo Taylor, 19, each with wanton endangerment. Police say the two men are father and son.

The father and son bonded out for $5,000. :confusedshrug:

More is expected of a person when they're supposed to be protecting the community. That's my only point. And mind you, we're not talking about cops stealing money. We're talking about cops abusing their power physicslly.

Which I absolutely have a problem with...

But your warped opinion of what abuse is doesn't match reality. As I've done numerous times before, when an officer acts out of line, I will most definitely call them on it.

But you also have to understand (and accept) that more often than not, your opinion of what should and shouldn't happen is based on nothing more than watching movies. Things are done a certain way for a reason, and like your 'black dude walking down the middle of the street' example, had he listened to the officer and complied like a normal human being, there probably would have never been an event to begin with.

Why? Because guess the type of person who would willingly acknowledge, then ignore, a police officer's lawful order....

The kind that are probably up to no good. Because reasonable, sensible, normal people who understand a police officer's job is public safety would probably respond appropriately. It wasn't because he was black, it was because he became defiant, and agitated, and attempting to pull away; which is exactly the behavior someone carrying an illegal firearm or drugs on them would exhibit.
