LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The 15-year-old daughter of Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay has been fatally shot in Kentucky, the athlete's agent and authorities said Sunday.

Trinity Gay died at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, the coroner's office for Fayette County said in a statement. The athlete's agent, Mark Wetmore, confirmed in a text message to The Associated Press that Gay's daughter had died.

Lexington police said in a statement that officers went to the parking lot of a restaurant near the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington about 4 a.m. Sunday after witnesses reported gunfire was exchanged between two vehicles. Officers located one of the vehicles and stopped two people for questioning, the statement added.

Police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said police don't believe Trinity Gay was in either of the vehicles involved.

Tyson Gay competed in the last three Summer Olympics. He was part of a team that won a silver medal in the 4x100-meter relay at the 2012 London Games though that medal was ultimately stripped after Gay tested positive for steroids in 2013.

Trinity Gay was a sprinter at Lafayette High in Lexington and finished fourth in the 100 meters and fifth in the 200 meters at the state Class 3A high school track meet in May, records show. She also ran on a 4x200 relay team that finished fourth. Her father also ran at Lafayette and still holds the state record in the 100 set in 2001.

The police statement didn't identify Trinity Gay by name, saying a juvenile who was struck at the scene was taken by private vehicle to the UK Hospital and later pronounced dead.

Police were still searching for the second vehicle, police said, adding they are continuing to investigate.

A tweet from Kentucky High School Athletic Association Commissioner Julian Tackett said he was stunned by the death: "Shocked to hear of death of Trinity Gay. A life of such potential cut so tragically short. Sympathies to Tyson and entire family."

Banknote Mitch or as he refers to himself the illegitimate child of Tupac Shakur, is ending the year in a blaze of fire. Mitch himself says he can relate in a lot of ways to Tupac's song "Brenda's got a Baby" original released in 1991. Hearing the song again in 2016 and seeing all the pain around him, he says it struck a nerve so he released his pain on the same microphone Shakur once released his on.

It was more then a journey, Mitch says to the camera thoughts racing, writing at an incredible speed. This is me speaking for all of Brenda's babies, and for those who understand what I'm saying, there are a lot of us. I am only the voice of a lost generation, left to be raised by single Mothers and Grandparents. Tupac said it himself, he may not be the one who changes the world, but he guaranteed us that he would spark the brain that would.

That brain is located inside Banknote Mitch's head, if you ask anybody who's heard even a snippet of Mitch's music. This is not another rapper from Charlotte, NC, who will never see the light of day. This artist has a purpose, a goal, and a drive that has been pushing him since his first breath. Not only will he take you along as he travels a world unknown, but he will make you feel every intense emotion that he puts into every word. Its clear Banknote Mitch is here to stay, download his new Ep "Brenda's Baby" October 20th (datpiff Exclusive)

Blac Youngsta stopped by VladTV to talk about his first time being shot at, growing up in an environment where he was constantly getting shot at and his brother getting killed. Youngsta told Vlad his first time being shot at was when he was 8 or 9 years old after he and his friends jumped an older man. "All my life I've been shot at I just never took it too serious..." Youngsta told Vlad he was shot three times 3 or 4 years ago and that's when he started taking being shot at serious. "Wrong place wrong time...I ain't have my gun on me, where I come from I was gonna ride through and hit anyway...I got shot off some sh*t I don't even know about to this day." Youngsta got hit in his leg and his arm when he was the target of gun violence. Youngsta also explained to Vlad he didn't call an ambulance when he got shot but called his friend to bring him a "choppa" because he was ready to fire back.

Blac Youngsta talked with Vlad about his little brother being killed. He expressed how it changed him, and also said, "I got three little brothers and he was the only one that didn't wanna be apart of the streets, I kept him in school, bought him cars...I kept him out the way you know someone ended up killing him." Youngsta said it saddened him and when his little brother died it got him out of the streets. He has yet to visit his younger brother's gravesite because he still can't understand why he lost him. Youngsta also expressed he was almost done rapping after his brother passed but he got through it and released his song "Heavy." Youngsta said he was out of the streets now and focused on his rap career.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to make the news for all the wrong reasons.

The Daily Beast reports that during the 13th season of NBC reality television show "The Apprentice," also know as "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice,' Trump kept referring to Lil Jon as "Uncle Tom."

The controversy began during a segment in which the rapper dressed as Uncle Sam to promote hair-care products.

“Look, he’s Uncle Tom!” one show staffer recalls the business mogul saying twice.

"Uncle Tom" is a term used to describe black men who are excessively obedient or servile to white people.

Arsenio Hall, who was a guest judge during the episode, heard Trump using the offensive term and made it known he didn't like it.

“We kept trying to explain to [Trump] that that’s not a word you can use, that it’s offensive,” another Apprentice employee told The Daily Beast. “One of the executive producers had to call him up directly to [plead with] him not to say it, and Trump was like, ‘No, that’s a saying, it’s Uncle Tom.’ There are several takes in the footage of the dailies that has him trying to figure out the difference between ‘Uncle Tom’ and Uncle Sam. He just couldn’t grasp that it was offensive… When [Trump] decides he wants to do something, that’s his way.”

Lil Jon addressed the issue via his Twitter account on Friday, October 14th.

"When this 'Uncle Tom' incident happened on Celebrity Apprentice in the boardroom several of my cast mates and I addressed Mr. Trump immediately when we heard the comment," he wrote. "I can't say if he knew what he was actually saying or not but he did stop using that term once we explained it's offensiveness. I also want to be clear that I don't agree with many of the statements Mr. Trump has said during his current run for President."
