Frederick Green, a 20-year-old man from the Bronx, has been arrested and charged in connection with the shooting of New York Jets<\/a> cornerback Kris Boyd.<\/p>\n

ESPN<\/a> has confirmed that Green was taken into custody on Monday morning, December 8, near the University at Buffalo North Campus in Amherst, New York, following a multiday manhunt coordinated by federal and local law enforcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to police, Green was apprehended after U.S. Marshals confirmed he was staying in a second-floor apartment in the Buffalo area. <\/p>\n

The U.S. Marshals Service said Green appeared to be monitoring law enforcement activity from inside the apartment before surrendering. \u201cGreen exited his apartment with his hands up,\u201d officials said, after officers evacuated nearby residents as a safety precaution. <\/p>\n

He was transported back to Manhattan, where he was formally charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon on Tuesday, December 9. <\/p>\n

Investigators believe Green fled New York City shortly after the November 16 shooting in an effort to avoid arrest. The firearm used in the shooting has not been recovered. The U.S. Marshals Service also stated that Green had \u201csignificantly changed his physical appearance, presumably to avoid detection,\u201d during the time he was on the run.<\/p>\n

Boyd, 29, was shot around 2 a.m. on November 16 during a confrontation outside Sei Less, an Asian fusion restaurant near Seventh Avenue and West 38th Street in Midtown Manhattan<\/a>. He was with Jets teammates Jamien Sherwood and Irvin Charles at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n

NYPD officials previously said a verbal dispute outside the restaurant escalated before shots were fired, striking Boyd in the abdomen.<\/p>\n

The bullet entered Boyd\u2019s abdomen and became lodged in his lung, leaving him hospitalized in critical but stable condition. He underwent multiple surgeries and initially remained under intensive care. <\/p>\n

Boyd later shared updates from the hospital, telling followers he was \u201ccoming along\u201d and beginning to breathe on his own.<\/p>\n

As the investigation developed, the NYPD released surveillance footage of a suspected shooter, which led to tips through CrimeStoppers and helped identify Green as a person of interest. <\/p>\n

Police also recovered a $185,000 luxury watch near the scene, which investigators said did not belong to Boyd or any of the other Jets players present<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Boyd was released from the hospital but later revealed he had to return due to ongoing health issues. <\/p>\n

One week after that update, he surprised teammates and coaches by visiting the Jets\u2019 training facility in Florham Park, New Jersey, using a walker for assistance. He attended a special teams meeting, drawing a strong reaction from those in the room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frederick Green, a 20-year-old man from the Bronx, has been arrested and charged in connection with the shooting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-66820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
