A suspect has been arrested upstate for the Midtown Manhattan shooting that wounded Jets player Kris Boyd<\/a> last month, law enforcement sources said Monday.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old suspect was not immediately charged but sources say he is expected to face charges of attempted murder after he is transported to Manhattan from Amherst, a Buffalo suburb where a U.S. Marshals task force nabbed him.<\/p>\n

The suspect lives in the Bronx and has four prior arrests, including one last year for reckless endangerment and a 2018 robbery arrest as a juvenile delinquent that was sealed, law enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n

The gunman early on Nov. 16 was part of a group of men who mocked the stylish clothes<\/a> Boyd and his friends were wearing when they arrived at Sei Less, a W. 38th St. Asian fusion hot spot popular with the well-heeled.<\/p>\n

Boyd and his friends, including fellow Jets players Irvin Charles and Jamien Sherwood, ignored the taunts, police said, but left the club after a short while and were mocked again by the same group, sparking an argument that got physical.<\/p>\n

Boyd was shot in the chest, the bullet travelling into his lung, as the fight escalated.<\/p>\n
