New York Jets Defensive Back Kris Boyd Critical After Shooting in Manhattan
A 29-year-old defensive back for the New York Jets, Kris Boyd, was shot on Sunday morning and has been hospitalized in critical but stable condition, according to the NYPD. The shooting occurred just after 2 a.m. at 156 W. 38th Street in Midtown Manhattan, outside a restaurant.
The NYPD confirmed that a male victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he remains under observation, although his life is not considered to be in imminent danger. Although the NYPD has not released the name of the victim, sources suggest it may be Kris Boyd, and the team has issued a statement expressing their awareness of the situation but no further comment.
The Jets did not play on Sunday as they had scheduled a bye week. However, they played a game on Thursday night against the New England Patriots, losing to them.
Kris Boyd signed with the Jets in March this year after signing a one-year contract worth $1.6 million. He has been absent from games since suffering a season-ending shoulder injury during an exhibition match in August.
Boyd played college football for the University of Texas and was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings as their seventh-round pick in 2019.
