Four men have been arrested in connection with the February 9 shooting of San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Keion White at a Mission District nightclub in San Francisco. Two were booked in the city, while authorities are arranging to bring suspects arrested in Atlanta and Stockton, California, to San Francisco, according to WSB-TV and the Associated Press.

White was shot in the ankle just after 4 a.m. at Dahlia, where he was hosting a private Super Bowl party. He was taken to a hospital and underwent surgery, the Associated Press reported, citing the team.

The Associated Press reported that Green faces misdemeanor charges of brandishing a firearm and carrying a concealed, loaded gun in public. The reports give different accounts of Green’s charges.

Prosecutors allege Walker fired a semiautomatic gun and said they would seek to have him held without bail, according to the Associated Press. He was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, October 14. FOX 5 Atlanta reported that authorities had not publicly identified who fired the shot that struck White or detailed each suspect’s role.

Davis faces additional Georgia charges involving controlled-substance trafficking, gang-related offenses and possession of a firearm during a felony. WSB-TV reported that he was being held at Fulton County Jail.

WSB-TV reported that San Francisco officers recovered a loaded firearm, more than 120 oxycodone pills and about $6,691 in cash when Washington was arrested. San Francisco police and prosecutors were working with other jurisdictions to arrange for Washington and Davis to be brought to San Francisco, while the shooting investigation continued, according to WSB-TV.

San Francisco Police Chief Derrick Lew said multiple suspects confronted White. Investigators used video footage and witness accounts to identify the men they say were involved, the Associated Press reported. Authorities have not disclosed what sparked the altercation, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
