A suspect has been arrested and charged in the shooting of New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd, an incident that took place in Midtown Manhattan last November. Police identified the suspect as 20-year-old Frederick Green, of The Bronx. Green was taken into custody in the Buffalo area and is now facing charges including attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the shooting.
According to authorities, the shooting occurred shortly after 2 a.m. on Nov. 16, 2025, outside the Sei Less restaurant on West 38th Street. Boyd, 29, was leaving the venue with two teammates and a friend when an argument reportedly broke out with another group. During the confrontation, the suspect allegedly drew a gun and fired multiple shots, striking Boyd in the abdomen.
Boyd was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition. Law enforcement said the bullet lodged in his lung, and he underwent multiple medical procedures. In the weeks after the attack, the Jets player posted updates about his recovery on social media and later visited the Jets’ training facility, where teammates said it was encouraging to see him walking and smiling.
Green surrendered to police after officers tracked him to a residence in Amherst, New York, where he was staying with a friend. He was held without bail following his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court and did not enter a plea. Prosecutors said he altered his appearance and took steps to avoid capture before being located.
The case remains a high-profile example of gun violence involving a professional athlete. Police and prosecutors continue to pursue the matter as it moves through the legal process.
