Pearsall, who was shot in the chest but is expected to recover, was released from the hospital the following day. The 17-year-old suspect, who was also injured, is in custody. Police believe the robbery was not targeted specifically at Pearsall due to his football status. Mayor London Breed described the incident as isolated, highlighting that violent crime rates have generally declined in San Francisco. Despite recent high-profile crimes, the city reports a significant drop in both property and violent crimes. However, the shooting has fueled criticism from mayoral candidate Mark Farell, who argues for a change in city leadership to address ongoing safety concerns. In response, the police department plans to bolster its presence in Union Square, while the city continues its efforts to tackle crime through increased enforcement and targeted operations.
