According to police report, Trinity was shot during a shoot-out between two vehicles - a dark coloured sports car and a grey Dodge Charger.

Trinity wasn’t in either of the cars and might have been just a bystander when she was shot at about 4am local time.

She died an hour later at 5am.

Trinity was a sophomore student at Lafayette High School where she had followed in her dad's footsteps as a sprinter.

Just like her dad, she ran 100 and 200 meter.
