Devastated dad Tyson told WLEX on Sunday morning he is at the airport and on his way to Lexington.

He said: “She didn’t make it. I’m so confused.

“She was just here last week for fall break. It’s so crazy. I have no idea what happened.”

The rising track star was killed as shooting broke out between groups of men in two cars.
