Overview
- Police say the shooting took place after a verbal confrontation at a July Fourth party in the Frayser neighborhood when the victim was shot in the back as he tried to walk away.
- Investigators say the victim provided a first name to police and then identified Lagerald Vick in a six‑person photo lineup days after the incident.
- Vick was arrested and booked into Shelby County Jail and is charged with criminal attempt to commit first‑degree murder and using a firearm during a dangerous felony.
- He is already facing separate felony charges from an April incident that accused him of aggravated burglary, theft and misdemeanor vandalism, with that court date set later in July.
- Reporting draws on Memphis police affidavits and Shelby County court and jail records, and the next steps are a scheduled arraignment and a bail‑review hearing that will determine how the cases proceed.
