Ricky Pearsall shooting: Exclusive video shows the moment armed suspect flees the crime scene at Union Square in San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — An exclusive video shows the moments after 49ers first-round pick Ricky Pearsall was shot in San Francisco’s Union Square and the arrest of the 17-year-old suspect.

In the video, obtained by ABC7 news anchor Dion Lim, a group of people can be seen running in panic down Geary Street at 3:33 p.m. on Saturday.

Fifteen seconds after the group runs past, surveillance shows a figure dressed all in black also running. He drops a gun, identified by officers as an unregistered Glock, clutching his left arm. He walks across the street where he is encountered by San Francisco police.

According to the police report obtained by Lim, an officer noticed that the young man’s arm was bleeding. He then asked, “Who shot you? Do you know who did this? What is your name?” The young man did not respond. He was then taken into custody.

Just around the corner on Grant Street, police were attending to Pearsall, who had been shot in the chest.

A woman from Manchester, England, who asked to be called “Shan,” was on vacation and said she and her friend were just a few meters away from Pearsall when he was shot.

“We were leaving Macy’s and we both noticed the guy next to us because he had two big shopping bags. One was Rimowa, the other was a big orange Louis Vuitton bag,” Shan said via FaceTime on the way to the airport to fly back to England.

According to the police report, Pearsall said the suspect told him, “Give me everything you have!”

The documents show that Pearsall was wearing a $30,000 white gold chain and a $9,000 Rolex on his wrist, which he wore to a book signing earlier in the day.

What happened next was chaotic, according to Shan.

“We walked a few meters in front of him and heard a commotion. When we turned around, a boy dressed all in black was trying to grab his bags,” she said.

According to Shan, that’s when she saw the suspect pull out his gun and a struggle ensued over Pearsall’s pockets and the gun.

“He didn’t give up without a fight. He’s brave,” Shan said.
