TOPEKA (KSNT) – Former Kansas men’s basketball player Lagerald Vick has been charged with attempted murder and using a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.

This story was first reported by the Kansas City Star, as Vick was charged and booked into the Shelby County Jail in Memphis, Tenn., on July 11, according to court records obtained by KSNT.

On July 5, at approximately 2:05 a.m., Memphis Police responded to a “shooting with person struck” call at Regional One Hospital.

Police say the victim told investigators he became involved in a verbal confrontation with a man carrying a handgun tucked under his arm. The victim said he attempted to leave the confrontation, but as he turned to run, he was shot once in the back. He was later transported to Regional One Hospital in a private vehicle.  

The victim was able to provide the first name of the suspect, which led investigators to develop Lagerald Vick as a potential suspect.

On July 7, the victim identified Vick as the person responsible for shooting him from a lineup.

Court records show Vick’s bond has been set at $1.5 million. He is scheduled to appear in court Monday, July 13 for an arraignment, followed by a bond review hearing Tuesday.  

Vick, a Memphis native, played four seasons at Kansas from 2015-19, appearing in 94 games and making 41 starts. During his senior season, he averaged 14.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, before taking a leave of absence from the program in February 2019.
