Pearsall, 23, was the 31st pick in this year’s NFL Draft. He played three seasons at Arizona State before transferring to Florida for his final two years of college.

In 2017, 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster and linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong escaped an attempted armed robbery outside a San Francisco nightclub around 2 a.m. on the 300th block of Post Street — blocks from where Pearsall was shot — in San Francisco.
