A 17-year-old high school senior is facing charges in connection with the daytime shooting of San Francisco 49ers rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall. The incident occurred on August 31 at Union Square, where the teenager allegedly attempted to rob Pearsall at gunpoint.
According to the attorney representing the teenager, new video evidence suggests that the incident was an attempted robbery rather than attempted murder. The footage reportedly shows a struggle between Pearsall and the teen, with Pearsall gaining the upper hand.
