Afterwards, deputies say Calicut called the mother of one of the classmates, allegedly admitting he knew Phillip had a gun and was going to shoot and begged her not to report him. Deputies say Calicut had been threatening one of the classmates at school for months.\u00a0<\/p>\n On July 20, authorities say Phillip was murdered during a shooting at a summer pool party at a local apartment complex. At this time, FOX 26 has not been told there\u2019s a connection to the July 6\u00a0and July 20 shooting. Community advocate, Quanell X, said it’s tragic.<\/p>\n “It’s unfortunate what happened to Isaiah.

FOX 26 asked community advocate, Quanell X, about Calicut’s status on the team.<\/p>\n “Georgia’s got a damn good ball player, and they have a very good kid with a good character.
