New videos have surfaced of San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall being led to an ambulance after he was shot in the chest during a terrifying armed robbery incident yesterday afternoon.

On Saturday afternoon, news emerged that Ricky Pearsall was shot in the chest by a robber while the rookie was on his way to an autograph signing event. The San Francisco Police Department detailed the incident:

“On August 31, 2024, at approximately 3:37 p.m., San Francisco Police officers responded to the area of Geary Street and Grant Avenue on a report of a shooting.  Upon arrival, officers located two male subjects suffering from injuries. Officers rendered aid and medics transported both subjects to a local hospital for further medical evaluation.

During the preliminary investigation, officers learned one of the subjects attempted to rob the victim, San Francisco 49ers player Ricky Pearsall. During the attempted robbery, a physical altercation ensued, and both the suspect and victim were injured.  The suspect is in custody and charges are pending at this time. All information is preliminary, and more information will be provided as it becomes available. Media availability will be held this evening at San Francisco General Hospital.”

At 9:55 p.m. EST, the 49ers later stated that Pearsall “is in serious but stable condition.” The San Francisco Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward. Tipsters may remain anonymous.

Zak Sos of KTVU received video footage from a witness of officers and paramedics leading Ricky Pearsall into an ambulance after the incident. A warning that the video may be disturbing to some viewers and to watch at your discretion:

Per David Lombardi of The Athletic, the SFPD stated that the suspect is a 17-year-old from Tracy, California. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins added that a decision on possible charges will likely be made by next Wednesday, per Lombardi.

Our prayers are with Ricky Pearsall, his family and friends and the 49ers organization. We hope for a speedy recovery, and we will continue to provide more information when it becomes available.

Ricky Pearsall Is Preparing For Start Of A Promising NFL Career

The 49ers selected Pearsall 31st overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, making him the fifth wide receiver taken in the first round. Pearsall joins a star-studded 49ers offense led by Brock Purdy, Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle.

In his final season at Florida, Pearsall caught 65 passes for 965 yards and four touchdowns. With Samuel only under contract for two more years, the path is there for Pearsall to emerge as one of the top playmakers in San Fran’s offense.

The 49ers open their 2024 season with a home tilt against Aaron Rodgers’ New York Jets on Sept. 9.

Sha’Carri Richardson made sure to remind people that she is still that girl with her performance in the women’s 4×100-meter relay.

Team USA’s women’s relay team will compete in the 4×100-meter final all because Richardson showed why she was made for the big stage.

Sha’Carri Richardson bailed the women out from a near collapse on Thursday in the Olympic 4×100 relay. She overcame a German runner in the anchor leg to help the Americans win their heat and advance to the gold-medal race.

Amid that run, Richardson could be seen staring at Rebekka Haase as she quickly passed her up on the track.
