\n\tThe shooting occurred around 2 A.M. outside the upscale Sei Less restaurant<\/a> on West 38th Street, where Jets cornerback Boyd was socializing with teammates Jamien Sherwood, Irvin Charles, and another friend.<\/p>\n \n\tAuthorities allege that Green was armed and fired his weapon twice during the confrontation. One of the bullets struck Boyd in the abdomen, traveled through his body, and ultimately punctured one of his lungs.<\/p>\n \n\t The 29-year-old defensive back was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition. Although Boyd was later released, he was readmitted during the Thanksgiving holiday after suffering health complications related to the shooting and remains hospitalized.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tNYPD officers maintain a security cordon after New York Jets NFL<\/a> cornerback Kris Boyd<\/a> was shot and critically hurt outside a restaurant in Midtown, Manhattan, New York, United States on November 16, 2025.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKyle Mazza\/Anadolu via Getty Images<\/p>\n \n\tInitial police reports noted that a blue BMW X6 with New York plates and a silver Mercedes-Benz GLS with Michigan plates fled the scene shortly after gunfire rang out.
