Former Kansas shooting guard Lagerald Vick is facing an attempted murder charge stemming from an alleged shooting at a July 4 party in his hometown of Memphis. The victim told police he was approached by a man with a handgun and shot in the back after attempting to run away, according to a police narrative obtained by multiple outlets.<\/p>\n

Vick was picked out of a photo lineup by the victim. Bond was set at $1.5 million for Vick, who was also charged felony burglary and theft earlier this year. Vick, 29, last played professionally in 2024 in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Legal trouble has long been part of the story for Vick, who played for Kansas from 2015-19 after ranking as a five-star prospect in the Class of 2015. As a freshman, he was the subject of a Kansas investigation into allegations that he struck a female student, according to the Kansas City Star.<\/a><\/p>\n

He was later linked to a felony vandalism case involving the alleged victim.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite his off-court woes, Vick made an on-court impact for Kansas during his final three seasons. He earned all-Big 12 honorable mention honors as a junior in 2018 for a Jayhawks team that reached the Final Four. Vick averaged 12.4 points on 43.5% 3-point shooting in five NCAA Tournament games that year.<\/p>\n

Vick took a leave of absence in early February of the 2018-19 season \u2014 his senior year \u2014 and never returned. At the time, he was averaging 14.1 points per game on 45.5% 3-point shooting for a top-15 Kansas team. His skillset was missed during the Jayhawks’ second-round NCAA Tournament loss to Auburn as KU hit just six 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

After going undrafted in 2019, Vick played overseas for several years, first in Asia and then in Mexico and South America before landing in New Zealand.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
