New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd is hospitalized in critical but stable condition after an early-morning shooting in Midtown Manhattan, police said.
The Shooting
The NYPD said a 29-year-old man was shot in the abdomen just after 2 a.m. Sunday outside a restaurant on West 38th Street. The victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital. While police have not publicly identified the victim, the Jets confirmed they are aware of “the situation involving Kris Boyd.”
Suspect Search Underway
No arrests have been made. Investigators are searching for a man seen fleeing in a blue BMW. Police released images of a person of interest described as a male with a medium complexion, last seen wearing a black cap, black sweatshirt and pants, multicolored sneakers, and carrying a black bookbag.
Boyd’s Background
Boyd, 29, signed a one-year, $1.6 million deal with the Jets in March but has not played this season due to a shoulder injury sustained in August. A Gilmer, Texas native, he played college football at the University of Texas and entered the NFL in 2019 as a seventh-round pick for the Minnesota Vikings. His career has included stints with the Cardinals and Texans.
Team Schedule
The Jets did not play Sunday after their Thursday night loss to the New England Patriots.
