The San Francisco Police Department said a preliminary investigation determined a verbal altercation occurred between two groups inside a business, and the victim was injured when shots were fired by an unknown suspect. No arrests had been made, and the incident remains an open and active investigation.
Officials noted that White was traded to the 49ers from the Patriots as part of a draft-pick deal, described as involving a 2026 sixth-round selection and a separate seventh-round selection in exchange for the defensive lineman.
White appeared in 11 games for San Francisco this season, recording 16 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery. The club has not provided additional updates on his condition beyond confirming the successful surgery.
San Francisco officials and White’s representatives have not issued further comments, but the organization extended well wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and the San Francisco Police Department’s Strategic Investigation Unit continues to pursue leads.
