"The shooting happened just after 2 a.m. outside a business on West 38th Street near 7th Avenue, according to the New York Police Department. A 29-year-old man was shot in the abdomen, police said. The man was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was in critical, but stable condition. There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing. Police did not name the victim, but multiple news outlets reported that the man shot was Boyd."
"Boyd hasn't played this season, his first with the Jets, after going on the season-ending injured reserve list on Aug. 18 with a shoulder injury that required surgery to repair. He signed with New York as a free agent in March and was expected to be a key part of a revamped special teams unit under new coach Aaron Glenn and special teams coordinator Chris Banjo."
"Boyd was regarded as a special teams standout during his first six NFL seasons, including most of the last two with Houston. He made headlines during the Texans' divisional playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in January when he celebrated a forced fumble on a kickoff by ripping off his helmet and nearly shoving his special teams coach to the ground."
Kris Boyd, a New York Jets cornerback and special teams standout, was critically injured in a shooting in Midtown Manhattan early Sunday. The shooting occurred just after 2 a.m. outside a business on West 38th Street near 7th Avenue; a 29-year-old man was shot in the abdomen and taken to Bellevue Hospital in critical but stable condition. There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing. The Jets said they are aware and declined further comment; Boyd's agent did not immediately respond. Boyd had been on season-ending injured reserve after shoulder surgery and had been expected to anchor the Jets' revamped special teams unit. Teammates asked for prayers on social media.
