A judge ruled that the 17-year-old charged with shooting San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall during an attempted robbery will be tried as a juvenile. The incident occurred in August 2024 when the suspect attempted to rob Pearsall, who was wearing expensive jewelry. Both Pearsall and the suspect were injured in the confrontation. The district attorney sought to transfer the case to adult court, but the judge decided against it, considering the teen's background and behavior in juvenile detention.
