Four Men Arrested in Connection with Shooting of 49ers' Keion White at Super Bowl Party

Authorities have arrested four men in connection with the February shooting of San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Keion White at a nightclub, officials announced Wednesday.

The shooting took place just after 4 a.m. on Feb. 9 at the crowded Mission District nightclub Dahlia, where White was hosting a private Super Bowl party.

San Francisco Police Chief Derrick Lew stated that the four men were apprehended over the past week with assistance from law enforcement agencies in Atlanta; Stockton, California; Irvine, California; and Los Angeles.

Lew said that on the night of the shooting, multiple armed suspects confronted White.

Investigators used video footage and witness statements to identify the alleged perpetrators.

On Oct. 7, local law enforcement arrested 35-year-old Curtis Green in Irvine. Two days later, authorities arrested 36-year-old Gregory Walker of Mountain House, California, for their alleged roles in the shooting.

The men were booked into San Francisco County Jail on Monday and were scheduled to appear in court Wednesday afternoon.

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said prosecutors will seek no bail for Walker due to the public safety risk they say he poses.

Walker will be charged with assault with a semiautomatic firearm—which prosecutors say he fired—as well as other charges for possessing a gun as a felon.

Green faces misdemeanor charges of brandishing a firearm and carrying a concealed and loaded gun in public, Jenkins said.

A message was left Wednesday with the San Francisco public defender's office to determine if its attorneys were representing the two men.

Two other men arrested in other jurisdictions are not yet in local custody and will be charged once they are brought to San Francisco, Jenkins said.

One of the other men expected to face charges in San Francisco was arrested Oct. 7 in Atlanta. The 38-year-old was arrested on a no-bail warrant. Authorities say police seized an illegal firearm during the arrest, along with thousands of grams of MDMA, methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl at the man's home.

That same day, law enforcement arrested a 36-year-old man in Stockton, California, in connection with White's shooting, and recovered a loaded firearm, over 100 oxycodone pills, and $7,000 in cash.
