Keion White sustained a bullet wound to his ankle which required surgery.

San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Keion White was shot on Monday. He sustained a bullet wound to his ankle which required surgery.

The attack unfolded after an argument between two groups broke out, prompting shots fired. No suspects have been identified at this time.

The shooting occured the same day the 49ers thanked the San Francisco Bay area and the team’s co-hosts for helping welcome the Super Bowl to the team’s home venue, Levi’s Stadium.

The incident marks the second time in two years that a 49ers player has been shot in the city’s urban core. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot and injured in August of 2024. He made a full recovery and White is expected to be ok as well.
