pearsall, appearing in front of a judge for the first time wednesday afternoon. the suspect, who was joined in court by his parents, will continue to be detained in san francisco, according to judge's orders. his attorney, deputy public defender bob dunlap, speaking to the media outside the courthouse following wednesday's proceedings. >> from what little i know that this is completely out of character for him. i do think there are extraneous circumstances that haven't really formed a part of the narrative yet, but i'm still piecing that together. >> dunlap, also confirming the teen has another outstanding matter in san joaquin county, although he did not elaborate. he says his client is remorseful following saturday's incident. >> he's very sorry, genuinely, that this did happen, as is his family and i can say on their behalf as well as on my own behalf that, our thoughts go out to the pearsall family and mr. pearsall himself. >> the case has garnered significant attention across the country and once again put a spotlight on san francisco's public safety over the past few days, questions have emerged over whether the city's district attorney, brooke jenkins, would

seek to move the case from juvenile to adult court. in a 2022 press release, jenkins said she would only try to move cases that involved certain heinous crimes. while the charges her office has filed against the suspect would seem to meet that criteria, jenkins said tuesday her office has not yet made a decision over whether to file that petition. >> i don't walk into cases trying to use them as an example, so i want that to be clear, but it is my job to make sure that people understand that the culture in san francisco is very different than it was two and a half years ago. >> legal experts say getting the case moved would not be an easy task to accomplish, and the ultimate decision would rest with the judge. a potential move dunlap thinks is unnecessary. despite the high profile nature of the case. >> the only reason you're here talking to me is because mr. pearsall is a 40 niner. i mean, let's be honest about that. >> the suspect is expected to next appear in court on september 10th for a pretrial conference. but for now, live in the newsroom. tim johns, abc seven news. okay tim, thank you for that update. >> this case has unfolded

valued at $9,000 on his wrist. he wore them during an autograph signing earlier in the day. >> we walked just a few meters in front of him and could hear like commotion, and we turned around and there's this, like young, boy with black all in black, trying to grab his bags. >> as shan tells it, that's where she saw the suspect pulling the gun and the ensuing struggle for both pearsall's bags and the weapon. >> he was not giving up without a fight. he's brave. >> in san francisco, dion lim, abc seven news. when the san francisco 49 ers spoke yesterday for the first time publicly after the shooting of ricky pearsall, you could sense a different energy than has been there all offseason. fans say they noticed it too. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey spoke with a faithful about their excitement for the season, kicking off. >> it seems like there's been a dark cloud hanging over levi's stadium in the san francisco 40 niners all offseason from a close super bowl loss to two

hey, you want to do it now? i say, yeah. >> and after he mastered the pommel horse, steven rozik is going for gold. or in this case, silver. what is life like for you right now? >> busy busy, busy. but i'm enjoying every second of it. and, i mean, riley is the best. loving this so far. i'm so excited to get out there and just do this thing. >> do you have a message for the competition for your other cast mates? >> look out! >> come on, bring it on, baby. come on, let's go. >> we're going to go out there. america. and you're going to see double d. >> oh, he got the crazy eyes. now he got the crazy. >> the team double d it's on girl. >> we're coming for you. >> it's over for you guys. >> i'm joel gargiulo, abc news. and one of the biggest celebrations of the year in oakland will take place this weekend. and we are excited to be a part of it. abc seven is a proud sponsor of this weekend's oakland pride parade. organizers joined us on our midday show with a preview of what's in store. this weekend, and to discuss what pride means to oakland. >> it means that there's no need

to hide, no need for fear and stigma. there's just only an opportunities. opportunities for you, you and me and our community to be our full selves. we have over 130 vendors and food, dance, three stages. >> it's going to be like wonderful. >> abc seven is a proud sponsor and will be live streaming the parade starting at 11 a.m. on sunday. watch wherever you stream abc seven news. >> it's going to cool off at all by then, though i think so, i mean, but get the details from san diego. >> yeah, kristen and it's all about the timing, right? so in time for the pride parade this weekend, temperatures really drop and you'll notice it right now let's talk about the heat advisories that are in effect shaded in orange for much of northern and central california. down south, excessive heat warnings. so we're not alone in this heat. 113 in palm springs

right now. 104 in redding. of course, monterey looks a lot better 61 degrees. the marine layer is there along the coastline. it's going to advance briefly overnight. tomorrow afternoon. you get the triple digits again inland. 104 in fairfield, 71 in half moon bay. everyone else in between. friday one more day of low 100 seconds. but the coastal and bayside communities start to come down saturday. it is a noticeable drop off when most areas that are warmest or will only be in the 90s 70s, though right around oakland for the pride parade. and look at the accuweather seven day forecast. two more days of the sizzle, and then we'll notice the fizzle. okay nothing like a good fizzle. yeah. nothing like a good fizzle. i'm kristen. we're going to drop off into the 80s next week. >> thanks. yeah. >> we don't want the niners to fizzle though larry. >> no and they won't. >> i thought she was going to go all snoop dogg right. >> i know yeah the sizzle sizzle. >> we'll let you do that that way.

>> almost got it. almost got it. 40 niners brock purdy. he's heard it all. he's too small. his arm isn't strong enough. he was the last pick in the draft. so how does he block out the noise as the niners get set for their season opener against the jets. right here on abc seven

where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children.

i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco.

49 ers. season opener monday night against the jets right here on abc seven. kick off is at 515. obviously the offense starts with brock purdy. now last year purdy threw for more than 4000 yards with 31 touchdowns. completed 69% of his passes. yet because he was the last pick in the draft a few years ago, some people still think this guy is just a product of the kyle shanahan system. purdy appeared on the rich eisen show and said he tries to block out the critics and all the noise. >> honestly speaking, like i don't, you know, buy into, you know, the world's narrative of, you know who i am and who i am as a quarterback and all that kind of stuff. for me, what matters most is, you know, having the trust and respect of the guys in this organization and in this building. if i, you know, listen to everybody else on the outside world and try to please everybody, then i would be drained. i would i wouldn't be who i am. there's any great american story that you can look for in the nfl. >> it's this one right here. you know, nobody ever thought that he could do what he did, still

doesn't look the part when you bring in your last, first round quarterbacks, you're probably going to look at him and be like, he doesn't fit, but he's better than all of them. >> former 40 niners defensive coordinator robert saleh is now the head coach of the jets, so kyle shanahan was his boss. and they go back to 2006. they were both assistants for the houston texans. they've been friends ever since, but this will be the first time that shanahan and saleh meet as opposing head coaches. and there is nothing but respect there. >> he's one of those football kids coaches, kids who actually deserves to be where he is because of how how unique he is to the sport. you know, so and you could tell that from the first day i met him, saw college football. >> the cal football team opened the new season with a 3113 win over uc davis last saturday. kristen sze you go, >> i didn't, but i followed it closely and what a way to start the season. woohoo >> way to get out of that. anyway fernando mendoza threw for a touchdown. >> going to be a tougher test

this saturday when kristen and the bears go into auburn, alabama. the tigers won last year in berkeley and the bears would love to return the favor. >> everyone tastes great, but this one would taste better, especially as we suffered a loss from them last year at cms. so being able to go to an sec venue, getting that win, it would only roll more and more momentum going into acc play. >> yes, acc play. here we go. summer of steph continues. he won a gold medal at the olympics. he and ayesha have a brand new baby and curry just keeps coming up with these new endeavors. he was in new york promoting his latest project. this is a children's graphic novel, sports superheroes volume one. steph curry signing autographs at the premiere a young fan, you could see this had the best day of his life. >> what do you think that's like the best point guard of all time, man. like that's right. >> hey, what's your name? nice to meet you. i'm gonna do it

there you go, brother. >> thank you. so much. nice to meet you. >> yo. you're lying. >> oh, how adorable is that, right? >> i mean, that's a moment that he will remember for the rest of his life. steph's amazing sports on abc seven is sponsored by smart and final. the thing that i wonder about with steph, as well as aisha, when do they sleep? because it appears as though there's every day there's a new thing. whatever it is, it's a it's a book, it's a restaurant. >> it's their superhuman. they're just like the superheroes in the comic book. >> it's scientifically proven that they have 26 hours to the day as opposed to 24. like the rest of us. yeah. all right. that's going to do it for this edition of abc seven news. i'm ama daetz and i'm kristen sze for sandhya patel. >> all of us here at larry beil. we'll get it together. all right. thanks for joining us. that's all that matters. >> i'm just the guest here.

>> she makes that known. i'll see you tonight at 11 and two. yes. joining us look for on i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them. so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one? that one i like. a lot. ♪ bmo ♪ [upbeat music] ♪ yeah, baby, i like it like that ♪ ♪ you gotta believe me when i tell ya ♪ ♪ i like it like that ♪ ♪ i like it like that, i like it like that ♪ ♪ clap your hands if you want some more ♪
