Sports in Brief: Vick's account is challenged

The Virginia Beach restaurant that hosted Michael Vick's birthday party has given police video that contradicts the account given by Vick's attorney of the moments before a shooting early Friday, a restaurant partner told the Daily Press of Newport News, Va.

Guadalajara spokesman Allen Fabijan said owners turned over surveillance video to police Tuesday. Vick's attorney has said Vick left well before the shooting.

Fabijan said two cars carrying Vick, an Eagles quarterback from Newport News, and his entourage left at 2:07 a.m. Three minutes later, shots rang out from the direction the cars had gone, Fabijan said.

An unidentified eyewitness told the newspaper that shooting victim Quanis Phillips, a codefendant in the Vick dogfighting case, tapped or slapped on the hand of Vick's fiancee, Kijafa Frink, as she fed Vick cake. He said little cake touched Vick's face, but words were exchanged. Unnamed witnesses gave the New York Post a similar account.
