USC Women’s Basketball Commit Aaliyah Gayles Suffers Multiple Gunshot Wounds Inflicted At House Party
Aaliyah Gayles, a USC women’s basketball commit, was reportedly shot ten times at a house party over the weekend outside of Las Vegas.
According to ESPN, Gayles was one of four people wounded after a fight broke out at the party. The 18-year-old point guard, one of the top players in the country in the 2022 class, has had two emergency surgeries on Sunday (April 17) to address the injuries. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports she is awake and recovering.
“Aaliyah is one of the strongest, most resilient young people I have ever known,” USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb said in a statement to ESPN. “I have no doubt she will continue to face this unfathomable situation with courage and resolve. We will continue to support her and her parents in every way that we possibly can.”
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, gunfire erupted at around 11:15 p.m. at the house in North Las Vegas.
Of the four victims in the shooting, which included two minors, only one was listed in “serious” condition after she suffered multiple gunshot wounds to her lower body. Police say Gayles’ head and torso were not targeted in the incident.
