New York Jets Cornerback Kris Boyd in Critical Condition After NYC Shooting: What Happened
The city is still processing the news that New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd is in critical but stable condition after a shooting in Midtown Manhattan. It happened early Sunday morning, and the details have fans and teammates sending prayers and positive energy.
According to reports, the shooting went down around 2 a.m. outside an Asian fusion spot on West 38th Street. When police rolled up, they found the 29-year-old had been shot in the abdomen. He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital and is currently listed as critical but stable.
A rep for the Jets confirmed they’re keeping a close watch on the situation, but had no further comment.
Boyd’s teammate Jermaine Johnson kept it real, asking folks to lift the young cornerback up in prayer. These moments are a stark reminder that athletes, even though they seem larger than life on the field, are still human, navigating the same unpredictable world we all live in.
So far, no arrests have been made. Detectives are on the hunt for a man seen peeling off in a blue BMW right after the shooting.
The connection between the shooter and Boyd isn’t clear, and detectives are working to piece everything together.
Boyd’s journey hasn’t been a smooth ride. He signed a one-year deal with the Jets for $1.6 million this year, but a season-ending shoulder injury in the preseason kept him off the field. Before landing with the Jets, his NFL journey started in 2019 as a seventh-round draft pick for the Minnesota Vikings, with stints for the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans.
Right now, his story is at a tough chapter: a promising athlete fighting for his life while the police search for answers.
Investigation Into the NYC Shooting Involving Jets Cornerback Kris Boyd
The investigation is in full swing, with authorities reviewing surveillance footage, interviewing witnesses, and collecting evidence from the scene outside the restaurant where Boyd was shot. The fact that the shooter reportedly fled in a blue BMW suggests they had a plan, raising questions about whether this was random or targeted.
The NYPD hasn’t revealed a motive yet, only stating that “the relationship between the victim and the suspect is unclear at this time.”
Midtown is known for its bright lights, tourists, and constant motion, but anyone who knows New York knows how quickly things can change.
People inside nearby businesses reportedly took cover when the gunshot rang out. Detectives are urging anyone with information to step forward.
