49ers’ Keion White Shot In San Francisco After Super Bowl, Non-Life Threatening Injury

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Keion White was shot in the ankle Monday morning, just hours after the Super Bowl ended, with the 3-year NFL vet sustaining a non-life-threatening injury.

White, 27, is currently in a local hospital where he’s undergoing surgery.

The team confirmed the news in a statement to The Athletic, saying they will update his condition “when appropriate.”

The incident took place during an event in San Francisco, where an altercation occurred, not involving White, who was unfortunately caught up in the gunfire.

“A preliminary investigation revealed a verbal altercation occurred between two groups inside a business,” a spokesperson for the SFPD said. “The victim was injured when shots were fired by an unknown suspect.”

This incident adds to the list of NFL players falling victim to gun violence in America, with Kris Boyd being shot in New York City in November after a verbal argument, and White’s teammate Ricky Pearsall being shot in San Francisco in August 2024.
