VIRGINIA BEACH "” A man was shot outside of a Virginia Beach club early this morning at a birthday party for NFL star Michael Vick.
Police have not identified the shooting victim, but a spokesman for Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital confirmed that Quanis Phillips - one of the co-defendants in Vick's 2007 federal dogfighting trial - was admitted early this morning and was listed in good condition. The spokesman would not discuss the nature of Phillips' injuries, and he said Phillips has declined to speak with media.
Several people who attended the party say that the shooting outside Guadalajara, in the 4600 block of Columbus Street in the Town Center of Virginia Beach, occurred at one of a handful of birthday celebrations for Vick last night. The party was advertised as a star-studded event via the Twitter feed of Vick's brother, Marcus.
Adam Bernstein, spokesman for Virginia Beach police, declined to comment on whether Vick was present at the club at the time of the shooting.
The shooting occurred around 2:10 a.m. Bernstein said a fight broke out as the club was closing, and one man was shot.
