New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was shot outside a popular Manhattan restaurant, leaving him hospitalized in critical but stable condition. Police say the shooting happened around 2 a.m. near Sei Less, a celebrity-favored hotspot, after tensions inside the venue escalated into a street altercation.

Boyd had been out with teammates when he sensed “a bad vibe” and decided to leave. Outside, a confrontation erupted, and gunfire broke out. Boyd was struck in the abdomen, with the bullet hitting his lung. The gunman fled in a BMW, and another luxury vehicle sped off moments later.

Investigators are struggling due to uncooperative witnesses, but Boyd briefly spoke to detectives from his hospital bed. The Jets released a short statement acknowledging the incident, while teammates and fans poured out prayers and support across social media.

Footage from the scene showed officers, medics, and bystanders crowding around the injured athlete as first responders worked urgently to stabilize him. With no arrests yet made, the NYPD’s investigation remains active as the football community awaits further updates on Boyd’s recovery.
