Four men have been arrested in the February shooting of San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Keion White, San Francisco police and prosecutors announced today, Oct. 14. The arrests took place in Atlanta, Stockton, Irvine and Los Angeles, the result of a monthslong effort police called Operation D Line. Prosecutors have charged one man, Gregory Walker, 36, of Mountain House, with firing the shot.
White was shot just after 4 a.m. on Feb. 9 on the 1700 block of Mission Street, hours after the Super Bowl weekend wrapped up in the Bay Area. He had surgery, recovered and is playing for the 49ers this season. But the search for the people involved led investigators far beyond one night in the Mission District.

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said a great Super Bowl weekend for the city ended with the shooting.
It was the second time in two years that a 49ers player was shot in San Francisco. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was wounded during an attempted robbery in Union Square in August 2024 and has fully recovered.
