Police Arrest Gregory Walker in Keion White Shooting Case

Eight months after San Francisco 49ers defensive end Keion White suffered a gunshot wound to his ankle at a San Francisco nightclub, Los Angeles police arrested 35-year-old Gregory Walker in connection with the February incident. Authorities took Walker into custody in Hollywood on Friday, October 9, 2026, and booked him on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon involving a semiautomatic rifle.

The Los Angeles Police Department's Gang and Narcotics Division located Walker after receiving information about his presence in the city, according to police officials cited by the California Post and reported by Yahoo Sports. Jail records listed him as being held without bail. Authorities have not announced an arraignment date, and the investigation remains ongoing.

The shooting occurred at Dahlia's Lounge in San Francisco's Mission District during a private Super Bowl party hosted by White. Investigators have examined an altercation involving rapper Lil Baby's group, which allegedly attempted to enter the event, although the available reports do not establish that the rapper was involved in the shooting itself.

According to witness information described in the reports, a person who went upstairs to seek assistance from a manager heard two gunshots. The witness returned downstairs and found White bleeding from a leg wound. Police subsequently investigated the scene, where they found shell casings from 9mm and .45-caliber ammunition, according to AllHipHop.

The San Francisco 49ers previously described White as a shooting victim who had sustained a bullet wound to his ankle. He underwent surgery and recovered from the injury.

White entered the NFL as a second-round draft pick in 2023 and joined San Francisco through a trade with the New England Patriots in 2025. Yahoo Sports reported that he had appeared in all four of the 49ers' games during the current season, recording two sacks and six tackles.

Reports from AllHipHop and Yahoo Sports identify Walker as the suspect arrested in connection with the case. The charge concerns an alleged assault involving a semiautomatic rifle, and the arrest does not establish guilt.

HotNewHipHop reported that Lil Baby and his associates had not responded to allegations concerning the nightclub confrontation. The publication also noted that authorities had not presented evidence establishing the rapper's connection to the shooting case. Walker's next court date remains unannounced.
