Lagerald Vick Charged With Attempted First‑Degree Murder in Memphis

Shelby County has set bond at $1.5 million with arraignment and a bail-review hearing scheduled.

Overview

  • Police say a verbal argument at a July 4 party in the Frayser Greenbriar Apartments ended when a man was shot in the back and later identified Lagerald Vick in a six-person photo lineup.
  • Court records show Vick faces attempted first-degree murder and a separate charge for using a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.
  • Vick was arrested in Memphis and booked into the Shelby County Jail on Saturday, July 11, and is being held on $1.5 million bond while court proceedings move forward.
  • He also remains subject to earlier charges from an April arrest for aggravated burglary, theft and misdemeanor vandalism with a July 30 hearing scheduled.
  • The new case raises both criminal exposure and public scrutiny for the 29-year-old former Kansas guard, who played on the Jayhawks’ 2018 Final Four team and has a history of campus and legal incidents.
