Monday, November 17, 2025 - New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was shot outside a New York City restaurant early Sunday morning, November 16 according to police who say Boyd was shot in the stomach and was later rushed to Bellevue Hospital.
Earlier on Sunday, the New York Police Department told
reportersthat a 29-year-old male was in “critical but stable condition” after
being transported to the hospital. The police did not mention Boyd’s name.
The Jets said in a statement they were “aware of the
situation” involving Boyd, adding they will have “no further comment at this
time.”
According to reports, the incident happened around 2 a.m. ET
outside of a restaurant on 38th Street, near 7th Avenue, after a dispute
escalated and two shots were fired.
No arrests have been made, and the incident is currently
being investigated.
The law enforcement source said two cars were spotted on a
surveillance camera leaving a parking garage near the restaurant. Both vehicles
pulled over and interacted with Boyd and his group.
Moments later, the gunman opened fire, striking Boyd and
then sped off in one of the vehicles.
The official added investigators are expected to get access
to the garage’s surveillance footage and are getting some cooperation from
witnesses to the incident.
Boyd was drafted in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft
out of the University of Texas by the Minnesota Vikings. He has also played for
the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans before signing with the Jets this past
offseason.
In August, Boyd was placed on the injured reserve with a
shoulder injury. Jets teammates including Jermaine Johnson and Harrison
Phillips asked for prayers for Boyd.
