San Francisco police have arrested four men in connection with the shooting of a 49ers defensive lineman Cion Geal hours after Super Bowl 60 in February.
Gregory Walker36-year-old Mountain House, California, resident and 35-year-old Curtis Greende Irvine, their first court appearance on Wednesday, October 14, at the San Francisco Hall of Justice, reports local station KQED.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that Walker has been charged with felony assault with a semi-automatic firearm, possession of a firearm, possession of a concealed firearm by a felon and possession of a loaded firearm by a felon. He is being held without bail at the San Francisco County Jail.
A judge ordered Green released after Wednesday’s hearing because he was only charged with a misdemeanor in connection with the shooting, according to KQED. Green is facing felony counts of brandishing a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm and carrying a loaded firearm in public.
A press release from the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) confirmed that two other suspects – Marquis Davis and Antoine Washington – were also arrested. Authorities are currently taking them out to the Bay Area to face charges.
Davis, 38, was arrested at his Atlanta residence on Oct. 7 on a warrant related to the shooting after detectives said they found “an illegal firearm, 820 grams of MDMA, 1,026 grams of methamphetamine, 979 grams of cocaine, and 3,842 grams of fentanyl” PD at the scene, the SF said.
Washington, 36, was arrested in Stockton, California, later that day on a warrant in the shooting case, with the SFPD alleging that officers seized “a loaded firearm, over 120 oxycodone pills, and approximately $6,691 in currency” during their investigation.
Police said they seized “multiple firearms and nearly 15 lbs. of narcotics” as part of an eight-month investigation that spanned multiple law enforcement agencies.
The arrests were made as part of Operation D-Line, a months-long investigation involving more than 50 search warrants and the assistance of more than 250 law enforcement officers across the country.

“We are going to show that he is innocent, bring him back to his family,” the lawyer vowed.
Attorneys for the other three suspects have yet to comment publicly.
The alleged shooting happened hours after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots, 29-13, in Super Bowl 60 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8.
White, 27, had posted pictures of himself inside Levi’s Stadium during the game. He later hosted a Super Bowl after-party at the Dahlia Club, located in the 1700 block of Mission Street.
“According to court documents, on February 9, 2026, after the Super Bowl, 49er quarterback Keion White was shot in the ankle while hosting a private party in the downstairs VIP area of Club Dahlia,” read a statement from Jenkins’ office. “Mr. Walker, and the second man who is awaiting charges, are alleged to have fired their firearms, resulting in Mr. White’s injuries. Mr. Green was also armed and is said to have brandished his own firearm.”
A 49ers statement on Feb. 10 confirmed that White had undergone surgery for a non-career-threatening injury.
“Keion White suffered a gunshot wound to the ankle this morning in San Francisco,” the NFL franchise’s statement read. “He is currently undergoing surgery at a local hospital. We will provide further updates when appropriate.”

White later made a full recovery and has played in all five games of the 2026 NFL season so far.
Talking to the New York Times in September, White said his recovery from the shooting was “different” than recovering from a normal injury.
“It’s a direct trauma, like, breaking an ankle with a sports-related injury,” he said. “When you injure yourself in football, there’s a protocol for damn near everything. Football players don’t just get shot every day.”
He joked, “I mean, I guess they’re on this team.
Green and Walker are due back in court on Monday, October 19 for a arraignment. No one has applied yet.
