49ers say DE Keion White shot in ankle, undergoes surgery

Keion White was shot after a verbal dispute between groups; police are investigating while the shooter remains unknown, marking the second 49ers shooting in two years.

  • On Monday, San Francisco 49ers defensive end Keion White was shot in the ankle in San Francisco and the 49ers confirmed he is undergoing surgery.
  • San Francisco Police Department officials said a preliminary investigation found a verbal altercation between two groups inside a business preceded gunfire, the shooter remains unknown, and Keion White is not believed to have been part of the altercation.
  • Officers responded about 4:06 a.m., rendered aid, called paramedics, and transported White to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries; the 49ers spokesman said he underwent successful surgery.
  • The 49ers said they are not placing a timetable on White's recovery and will provide further updates when appropriate; he remains under contract through the 2026 season after an October trade from the Patriots.
