In a video that has recently been shared online today, September 4, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced the charges that the 17-year-old male suspect is now facing after shooting NFL star Ricky Pearsall on August 31.

“In addition to other charges we have filed attempted murder, including allegations of personal discharge of a firearm and personal and intentional discharge of that firearm,” revealed Jenkins to the public.

The attorney also mentioned that authorities have decided to charge the minor with assault using a semi-automatic firearm. Additionally, the 17-year-old is facing an attempted second-degree robbery charge. Such charges will be filed in juvenile court.

On the matter of where the charges will be filed, Brooke explained, “No longer under California law can a district attorney choose to file those charges against a minor in adult court. The only mechanism for that is to request a transfer hearing.”

The transfer hearing would require a judge to rule on the minor’s fitness eligibility to be transferred to an adult court. This transfer would indicate that the juvenile system is ill-equipped for rehabilitation.

Brooke ended her statement by clarifying that the case will be further reviewed by her and her team to determine whether they will seek the fitness hearing or not.

This update comes after CNN reported yesterday, September 3, that the 17-year-old assailant was charged in juvenile court and was pending arraignment the next day (today, September 4). More details concerning the story will follow shortly.
