Ricky Pearsall

Erin Pearsall, the mother of Ricky Pearsall, said he is “in good spirits” following Saturday’s shooting.

There were previous reports of Pearsall being shot in the arm, but more recent reports have said Pearsall was shot in the chest. Per Pearsall’s mother, the wide receiver “was shot in the chest, and it exited out his back.” She also noted that “no vital organs were struck in the attack” while adding, “My son was spared today by the grace of God.” It sounds like the worst is behind Pearsall, as we continue to hope for a speedy recovery.
