Jets Cornerback Kris Boyd Shot in Midtown, Listed in Critical Condition

Investigators have not announced an arrest in the case.

Overview

  • Police say officers responded to a 2:09 a.m. 911 call on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue and found a 29-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
  • The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital in critical but stable condition, and multiple outlets identified him as Kris Boyd while the NYPD declined to name him per policy.
  • Reports indicate a dispute outside the Sei Less restaurant preceded the shooting, with two shots fired before the suspect fled in a BMW SUV.
  • Witnesses were described as uncooperative and a second vehicle also left the area, and police say the investigation is ongoing with no arrests announced.
  • The Jets issued a brief statement declining further comment; Boyd signed with the team this year and has been on injured reserve since August with a shoulder injury.
