Four arrested in shooting of 49ers player Keion White linked to drug bust

Four men have been arrested in connection with the shooting of San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Keion White at a nightclub in February, officials said Wednesday. The initial incident, which occurred during a private party following Super Bowl LX, led to a months-long investigation that authorities say expanded into a multi-state probe involving significant drug and gun seizures.

The Incident and Initial Investigation

The shooting took place on Feb. 9 at the Dahlia Club in San Francisco’s Mission District. White was hosting a private party with rapper Lil Baby when he was struck in the ankle. The injury was described as non-life threatening. According to the San Francisco Police Department, the investigation, dubbed “Operation D Line,” stretched from California to Georgia and involved more than 250 law enforcement personnel and over 50 search warrants.

Arrests and Charges

Authorities arrested four suspects across different locations. In Southern California, Curtis Green, 35, was taken into custody at his Irvine home on Oct. 7, and Gregory Walker, 36, was arrested by Los Angeles police on Oct. 9. Both were booked into San Francisco County Jail three days later. According to court documents cited by the New York Post, Walker and another man who has not yet been charged allegedly fired their guns during the nightclub incident, striking White. Green was also allegedly armed and brandished a firearm.

In Atlanta, police arrested Marquis Davis, 38, at his home on Oct. 7. Officers recovered an illegal firearm, 3,842 grams of fentanyl, 1,026 grams of methamphetamine, 979 grams of cocaine and 820 grams of MDMA. Antoine Washington, 36, was arrested in Stockton, Calif., on the same day by San Francisco police and San Joaquin County sheriff’s deputies. A loaded firearm, more than 120 oxycodone pills and about $6,691 in cash were recovered from Washington.

Legal Proceedings and Seizures

Walker faces charges including assault with a semiautomatic firearm, with allegations that he personally fired a weapon and inflicted great bodily injury. Green faces misdemeanor charges involving brandishing a firearm and carrying concealed and loaded guns in public. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins plans to seek Walker’s detention without bail, arguing he poses a public safety risk. Walker and Green were scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.

The investigation yielded nearly 15 pounds of narcotics, according to the San Francisco Police Department. Authorities are working to bring Davis and Washington to San Francisco as the investigation continues. Police are also asking additional witnesses and victims connected to the February shooting to come forward.

Why it matters

The case highlights how a single violent incident at a high-profile event can trigger extensive law enforcement operations across state lines. The scale of the drug and firearm seizures suggests the investigation uncovered a broader network beyond the immediate shooting. White, who has recorded three sacks through the 49ers’ first five games of the 2026 season, continues to play while the legal proceedings against the suspects move forward.
