Unnamed suspect is facing three felonies for a robbery attempt in the city’s shopping district, district attorney said
The San Francisco district attorney has charged a 17-year-old with five offenses for allegedly shooting San Francisco 49ers player Ricky Pearsall on 31 August during a robbery attempt in the city’s shopping district.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Brooke Jenkins, the district attorney, announced that an unnamed suspect is facing three felonies: attempted murder, attempted robbery and assault with a semi-automatic firearm. He faces two enhancements for intentional discharge of a firearm and personal use of firearm. He has not been publicly identified.
The teen is from Tracy, a city about 60 miles (about 96km) east of San Francisco and is currently being held in a juvenile facility in the city and is not being charged as an adult, though Jenkins said that her office is reviewing the case to see if they will request a fitness hearing that will determine whether or not his case can be transferred to adult court.
