New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd is in critical but stable condition after being shot in Midtown Manhattan early Sunday morning, according to officials.
The NYPD said a 29-year-old man was shot in the abdomen during a dispute outside an Asian fusion restaurant near West 38th Street and 7th Avenue. Police did not release the victim's name, but the Jets confirmed it was Boyd and declined to comment further.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, officials said.
"I am praying for New York Jets player Kris Boyd and his loved ones," Mayor Eric Adams said on social media. "Although we’ve gotten shootings to historic lows in our city, we must continue to work to end gun violence. Too many young lives have been tragically altered and cut short by this epidemic."
Boyd signed with the Jets in March and has been on the injured reserve list since suffering a shoulder injury during practice in August.
Police have not announced any arrests.
The investigation is ongoing.
This story has been updated with a comment from Mayor Eric Adams.
