A 17-year-old suspect accused of shooting and killing San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall has been charged with three felony counts.
The teen, whose name has not been released because he is a juvenile, was charged with attempted murder with the aggravated charge of intentionally discharging a firearm, personal use of a firearm, assault with a semi-automatic rifle and attempted second-degree robbery.
The charges were filed in juvenile court, but the city district attorney's office may file a competency hearing to try him as an adult. The suspect is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at the Youth Guidance Center.
