Jets Player Kris Boyd Hospitalized with Bullet in Lung After New York Shooting

New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was hospitalized in stable condition after being shot early Sunday morning in Midtown Manhattan. The 29-year-old Jets player was shot in the abdomen around 2 a.m. outside an Asian fusion restaurant on West 38th Street. He underwent surgery to remove a bullet lodged in his lung.

Authorities reported that the shooting followed a dispute between Boyd and another group, ending in gunfire. The suspect fled the scene on foot, and police are actively searching for him. Investigators are exploring the possibility that Boyd was targeted in an attempted robbery, with particular interest in the theft of his necklace.

Boyd is currently in his first season with the Jets, after previously playing for the Vikings, Cardinals, and Texans. He had been on injured reserve since August due to a shoulder injury sustained during training camp. Police released surveillance footage showing a suspect leaving the scene in a blue BMW.

The Jets organization and fans have expressed their support and concern for Boyd as he recovers from his injuries. No arrests have been made yet, and the investigation is ongoing. Authorities have urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward.

This incident highlights persistent safety concerns in the city, and law enforcement is increasing patrols in the area as the search for the suspect continues.
