A teen arrested in connection with 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.
