ShootiNg in Union Square: perp arrested but no information about him released, hmmm!

Ricky Pearsall 'is shot for his Rolex in crime-ridden San Francisco' a week before NFL rookie's first 49ers game

San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall was shot in the chest during a robbery incident in the city's Union Square and is now in serious-but-stable condition. 

A suspect was arrested at the scene and is now in custody, according to authorities.


Police say Pearsall was targeted over his Rolex watch after shopping at a high-end department store in the area. 


The 23-year-old Arizona native is one week away from his first NFL game against the New York Jets on September 9, although his status for that contest was already clouded by a shoulder injury. Pearsall was taken with the 31st pick of April's NFL Draft after playing collegiately at Arizona State and Florida.

'San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was the victim of an attempted robbery and shooting this afternoon,' read a team statement. 'He sustained a bullet wound to his chest and is in serious but stable condition. We ask that you please respect his privacy at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ricky and the entire Pearsall family.'
