A teen arrested in connection with the shooting and attempted robbery of San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall Saturday has been charged with attempted murder and other charges, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced Tuesday evening.
The 17-year-old from Tracy is charged with attempted murder, including allegations of personal discharge of a firearm and personal and intentional discharge of that firearm, assault with a semi-automatic firearm and attempted second-degree robbery.
The charges will be filed in juvenile court, Jenkins noted, though police are continuing to investigate the case, including aspects of the teen's background that could change the disposition of the charge that would lead to the teen's case to be transferred to adult court.
"What I indicated in 2022 is that there are five crime types for 16 and 17-year-olds, for which we would consider potentially seeking to transfer them to adult court," Jenkins said. "Attempted murder is one of those charges. And so again, it was for consideration."

SAN FRANCISCO -- 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was released from San Francisco General Hospital on Sunday afternoon, less than 24 hours after he was shot in an attempted robbery near Union Square.
............Cellphone footage obtained by CBS News Bay Area showed that, after the shooting, first responders carefully walked Pearsall to an ambulance. The 49ers said he was shot in the chest. Pearsall's mother said on social media that a single bullet entered through the right side of his chest and exited out of his back, missing vital organs.

"I heard these loud shots which I actually thought were firecrackers. I heard maybe four or five shots," said Erik Egan, who works at a corner store about 50 feet away from where the shooting occurred.
Egan said he saw Pearsall walking past his sunglasses store earlier in the afternoon and he saw Pearsall again when they passed each other on the sidewalk. Egan said Pearsall was going back to his car after shopping at nearby stores................
"He was released from the hospital today and I know everybody has been praying for his speedy recovery and we are wishing him and his family well," said San Francisco Mayor London Breed. "It's really a horrible event to happen to anybody and especially the 49ers are our beloved team. It kind of puts a bit of damper on all the incredible work that we've been doing here in the city. We have one of the lowest violent crime rates of any major city in the country and we've made incredible gains around public safety. But, when something like this happens, those numbers -- that data -- it doesn't matter. It's how people feel.".....................................................
