March 7, 2007: The 22 year old daughter of a popular daily tv/radio host on the state broadcasting corporation (ZNS) of the Bahamas has died of stab wounds resulting from a violent assault on her by  her 22 year old boy friend on Sunday March 4 2007.
She had been visiting the boy friend when an argument developed and violence erupted.

The single mother, Trevone McKinney daughter of Steve McKinney was apparently repeatedly stabbed and hospitalized for several hours undergoing multiple surgeries, before she eventually succumbed to her injuries.

Before her death her father had made urgent public appeals for blood donors to visit the Princess Margaret Hospital

"There is a lot of violence over the country and my daughter was a victim. She is an innocent child and she is still very young and we would hate to lose another young person in our country," Mr McKinney had told The Nassau Guardian.

Mr. McKinney hosts the popular "Immediate Response" program which tackles numerous social and political issues including escalating crime in the island chain where 14 murders have been recorded so far in 2007.
