Four men have been arrested in connection with the alleged nightclub shooting of San Francisco 49ers defensive end Keion White in February, according to officials. The incident occurred on Feb. 9 just after 4:00 a.m. at Dahlia, a crowded nightclub in the Mission District, where White was hosting a private Super Bowl party.
White was transported to a local hospital for surgery after being shot in the ankle, the 49ers confirmed. San Francisco Police Chief Derrick Lew stated that authorities arrested four men with assistance from law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Irvine, and Stockton, California.
Witness accounts and video footage were used by investigators to identify the suspects, who allegedly confronted White with guns on the night of the shooting. Curtis Green, 35, was arrested in Irvine on Oct. 7, and Gregory Walker, 36, was arrested two days later. Both are alleged to have been involved in the shooting.

Authorities booked the men into San Francisco County Jail on Monday, with court appearances scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

Walker faces charges including assault with a semiautomatic firearm and possession of a firearm as a felon, with prosecutors alleging he fired the weapon.
The case highlights the ongoing challenges of gang-related violence and gun crimes in the Mission District, where law enforcement continues to work closely with multiple agencies to address such incidents. The arrests mark a significant step in the investigation into the shooting that left White with serious injuries.
