Lagerald Vick, a former University of Kansas men’s basketball guard and a starter on the Jayhawks’ 2018 Final Four team, is charged with attempted first-degree murder in Tennessee. Multiple outlets report that the 29-year-old was arrested by Memphis police and booked into Shelby County Jail after an alleged shooting connected to a July 4 party in the Frayser area of Memphis. The accusations stem from police statements that Vick shot a man during the event, and he is facing attempted first-degree murder charges.
CBS Sports and other reports say Vick is being held on a $1.5 million bond. The various articles also note his college career at Kansas, where he played from 2015 to 2019, and his earlier background before joining the Jayhawks. The reporting is consistent on the core elements: his arrest in Memphis, the July 4 party incident, the attempted first-degree murder charge, his age, and the bond amount cited by outlets. The articles do not provide additional details on the alleged circumstances beyond the police-described shooting at the party.
