According to Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 in Sacramento, Pearsall was shot through the chest after he struggled with the suspect for the gun.
“Per SFPD: 49ers Ricky Pearsall was shot through the chest in a robbery attempt over a Rolex,” Cunningham wrote on X. “He was headed to a signing event on Geary & Market. There was a struggle for the gun. Both Ricky & the suspect were shot. Both parties stable at SF General Hospital.”
SFPD Director of Strategic Communications called that shooting “tragic” and unacceptable.”
