Alleged shooter in Chace Calicut arrest, shot and killed on Monday

Per the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Isaiah Phillip was killed on Monday night in a drive-by shooting incident. Phillip was previously involved in an incident with Georgia four-star commit Chace Calicut on July 6. For now, there is no known connection between the two.

“A North Shore Senior High School senior was killed, and two others were injured in a drive-by shooting at a pool party early Monday morning, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office,” KPRC2 in Houston said. “The victim, identified as Isaiah Phillip, was entering his senior year at North Shore High School and previously played on the North Shore football team.”

KPRC2 added that the shooting occurred around midnight. As mentioned, two other on the scene were hurt due to gunshots and the report does not have an updated status on their health.

Calicut and Phillips were charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon earlier in the month. Vehicles were involved there as well, with KPRC2 using the term “road rage.” According to witnesses in the area, Phillips was the one who fired the gunshots. Per the report, nobody involved in the July 6 shooting walked away injured.

Both attend Houston (TX) North Shore. Phillips was no longer on the football team entering his senior season but Calicut is viewed as one of the best high school safeties in the country. He is still in custody in the Harris County Jail.

Calicut plays high school football at Galena Park (TX) North Shore, where he is a four-star prospect. He was the No. 152 overall recruit in the 2026 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The Michigan Wolverines and Texas Longhorns were considered finalists for Calicut. Ultimately, Georgia emerged as a winner and Texas finished as the runner-up. At the time, a big win for head coach Kirby Smart as he continues to go head-to-head with Steve Sarkisian on the recruiting trail.

As usual, Georgia is putting together one of the best classes in the country. As of Tuesday, the Bulldogs hold the No. 2 class per the Rivals Industry Team Rankings. Calicut is one of 13 members who rank inside the top 200, headlined by Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Jared Curtis. A nice group for Smart to this point of the cycle.
