Virginia Beach police have announced that though they have identified the shooter, because the victim, Quanis Phillips, and witnesses who saw the shooting will not cooperate, no charges will be filed against the suspect at this time. The incident occurred outside Vick’s 30th birthday party at Guadalajara Restaurant in Virginia Beach.

Because the shooter is not being charged, police will not release the name of the suspect.

The shooting on June 25, left Quanis Phillips, Vick’s co-defendant in the 2007 federal dog fighting case, with a gunshot wound to the leg. 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.

Though the NFL has claimed to be conducting their own investigation into the shooting, and what if any, role Vick may have had in it, VBPD spokeswoman Margie Pridgen told reporters on Tuesday, that neither the NFL, nor the Philadelphia Eagles have contacted her department.
