Tyson Gay's 15-Year-Old Daughter Shot And Killed In Unprovoked Senseless Act Of Violence

Trinity Gay

 

Trinity Gay, the beautiful 15-year-old daughter of well liked sprinter, Tyson Gay, was shot and killed in Lexington, Kentucky this past Sunday morning at a local restaurant. The teenager was the victim of an unprovoked act of violence on her part. As she innocently stood outside fast food restaurant the Cook Out at 4:00AM, two cars exchanged gunfire and Trinity was shot in the neck. The bullet likely sliced or severed her carotid artery (arteries) leading to exsanguination (and possible windpipe damage). She was rushed to the University of Kentucky hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Tyson Gay stated of the tragic incident, "She didn't make it. I'm so confused. She was just here last week for fall break. I have no idea what happened." My deepest condolences to Tyson Gay and his family. I'm sorry for your loss brother. It is a terrible tragedy and I am sorry it occurred. It's awful hearing about loss of life, especially when it is a very young person. People need to rally around the Gay family and help them through this difficult time.

The senseless gun violence continues to claim innocent lives in America, necessitating the need for gun control. This beautiful, promising young girl, who was also a sprinter, has lost her life through no fault of her own and for no valid reason. Congress needs to stop cowering to the gun lobbyists and protect the American people from violence.

Nations that instituted gun control saw a massive decline in shooting deaths. It is estimated that 30,000 Americans die each year from gun violence. So many people who should still be here are not because of gun violence. Something needs to be done on a legislative level to fix the problem.

Meeting Muhammad Ali

Meeting championship boxer Muhammad Ali has been a special moment for many. Recently, an Irish plumber, Tony Kelly,  who moved to Muhammad Ali's hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, got to meet the champ. Kelly was repairing pipes across the street from Ali's home and decided to ring the front doorbell to say hello.

Tony Kelly and Muhammad Ali

Ali's wife Lonnie answered the door and Kelly asked if he, the champ's greatest fan from Ireland, could meet the legend. She obliged and Kelly got to take pics with the champ and wished him a happy birthday. It's not everyday you read a story like that.

Muhammad Ali's house in Kentucky

A funny story for you. Years before I was born, my parents met Muhammad Ali when he visited Jamaica in the very early 1970s. The Prime Minister of Jamaica at the time, my dad's friend, the late great Michael Manley,  invited Ali to the official residence of the head of state. A reception was held at the Prime Minister's residence, Jamaica House, in Ali's honor and my parents were among the guests.

When you read this story, bear in mind Muhammad Ali is my dad's favorite boxer, always has been and continues to be. During the event, Ali saw my mom, a pretty beauty queen and started chatting her up right in front of my dad (LOL). Ali smiled at my mom and said "hey pretty lady" and then proceeded to ask if she thinks my dad would fight him for her.

In short, Ali was trying to nail my mama (oh no he didn't). Now, you'd think she'd say something like, "Oh no Mr. Ali, my boyfriend standing next to me is the love of my life" (and he is). Well, she didn't! My mama stood there smiling and grinning up with Ali (oh no she didn't).

My dad is a tall, strong, well toned athlete,who played professional football (soccer)...so basically, yea, Ali would have kicked my dad's butt. So my dad smiled and agreed with whatever Ali said (haha I don't blame you daddy, cause I wouldn't get knocked out for anyone either).

My dad took it as a compliment that his favorite boxer said his girlfriend is "pretty" enough to fight for (but he would have kicked your butt though, daddy. I'm just saying haha!). To this day when people talk about Ali my mom gets this smile on her face...and I look at her with side eye. I can't believe she did that to my daddy! Just shameless (LOL).
