On Tuesday, the owners of Guadalajara restaurant turned over their security video taken Friday night, to Virginia Beach police. That was the night of Michael Vick’s birthday party, which ended in gunfire. Through his attorney, Vick has claimed no knowledge of the incident and says he left long before it happened.

Restaurant spokesman Allen Fabijan, told the Daily Press, the video is in direct conflict with what Vick’s defense attorney, Larry Woodward, has been telling the media.

Fabijan said that Vick and “his entourage” pulled away from the front of Guadalajara at 2:07 a.m. Three minutes later, shots were fired from the direction in which the cars were traveling.

Fabijan reports: “You can see everybody duck at 2:10...I'm not saying that Michael Vick did the shooting. But he did not leave (long) before” as Woodward says Vick told police.

The shooting, which sent Vick’s co-defendant in a federal dog fighting case, Quanis Phillps, to Virginia Beach General Hospital with a gunshot wound in the leg, is still under investigation.

In 2007, Phillips took a plea deal, and agreed to testify against Vick, in exchange for a shorter sentence.

Vick is still on federal probation and on a three-year suspended sentence for a state dog fighting conviction. As a condition of his release, he is not allowed to associate with known felons, that would certainly include Quanis Phillips.

Phillips, along with Vick took part not only in the dog fights at Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels but routinely killed dogs by methods including electrocution, hanging, drowning, and in at least one case by “slamming” the dog’s body onto the concrete floor. In one session in April 2007, at least eight dogs were killed through these methods.
