Suspect in Kris Boyd Shooting Pleads Not Guilty, Held Without Bail in New York

Prosecutors describe a flight to Buffalo, a disguise, then a surrender traced through tips and surveillance.

Overview

  • Frederick Green, 20, was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges including attempted murder, entered a not guilty plea, and was ordered held without bail.
  • Authorities arrested Green on Monday at a Buffalo-area apartment after U.S. Marshals and NYPD detectives located him and he surrendered when officers established a perimeter.
  • Investigators say Green fled the city and altered his appearance during the search, including cutting his hair and changing phones, before being taken into custody.
  • Police credit surveillance footage, cell-phone data, and Crime Stoppers tips with identifying the suspect, and they say the firearm used in the shooting has not been recovered.
  • NYPD says the Nov. 16 shooting outside Sei Less followed taunts about clothing that escalated into a fight; Boyd was shot in the abdomen, the bullet lodged near his lung, and he is recovering after a recent visit to the Jets’ facility.
