“It is premature for me to opine on that right now,” Jenkins said. “We have a lot to review as far as not only this case but the background of the minor. … SFPD is still gathering information about this crime, and we will make the appropriate decision.”
The suspect is due to be arraigned Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at the Youth Guidance Center.
Pearsall was released from the hospital Sunday. His mother said he was “in good spirits.”
During a press conference earlier on Tuesday, 49ers General Manager John Lynch said it was “miraculous” that Pearsall is doing as well as he is. The wide receiver has been placed on the team’s non-football injury list, meaning he’ll miss four games.
“Ultimately, [we] decided the best thing for Ricky was to have a little bit of time, and he’s going to need that time physically, he’s going to need that time emotionally,” Lynch said.
“We’re going to put our support and love behind Ricky,” he added. “He’s a very fortunate young man, and we’re so grateful.”
