I am San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins and I am here to announce the charges in connection with the incident that occurred on August 31st 2024 in Union Square um with regard to victim Ricky peol we have now filed uh the following charges against uh the minor who committed the offense on August 31st um in addition to other charges we have filed attempted murder um including Alle ations of personal discharge of a firearm um and personal and intentional discharge of that firearm we have also charged assault with a Semitic fire semi-automatic firearm as well as an attempted second deegree robbery charge at this time the charges will be filed in the juvenile court um no longer under California Law can a district attorney um choose to file those charges against a minor in adult Court um the only mechanism for that is to request a transfer hearing um which requires that a judge rule on the Minor's Fitness um to be transferred to adult Court which essentially means that the juvenile system would not be equipped to rehabilitate that minor uh so going forward my office will review the case more closely to determine whether or not we will seek um that Fitness hearing
