Former NFL Cornerback Kris Boyd Critically Injured After NYC Restaurant Shooting
Kris Boyd, a cornerback for the New York Jets, is in critical but stable condition after being shot outside a Manhattan restaurant early Sunday morning. According to the NYPD, Boyd sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen at around 2 a.m. ET outside Sei Less, a restaurant on West 38th Street.
The shooting appeared to be the result of a dispute that escalated into violence, with the gunman firing two shots before fleeing the scene in a BMW X8 SUV. Another vehicle, a Mercedes-Benz Maybach, also escaped the area. The NYPD has made no arrests and is currently investigating the incident.
Boyd, 29, was transported by emergency medical services to Bellevue Hospital, where he remains in critical condition. The NFL player had been out of commission due to a season-ending shoulder injury sustained during preseason training with his new team, the Jets, who signed him to a one-year, $1.6 million contract.
A former seventh-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings, Boyd spent four seasons with the team before playing for the Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans. His current health status is concerning for Jets fans and football enthusiasts nationwide, with many hoping for his speedy recovery.

kris boyd was shot outside a restaurant in nyc and he's in critical condition 
i'm sending all my thoughts and prayers (not that it'll make a difference) but seriously how does this happen in broad daylight? 2 shots were fired before the gunman got away in a bmw lol what if it was his own life on the line instead of some random guy's 
the nfl needs to do more to ensure player safety tbh i mean we've had concussions and injuries but this is just scary 
just thinkin about Kris Boyd bein injured like that outside a restaurant... shouldn't have to go through somethin like that in the city that never sleeps #NYCSafetyMatters . the NYPD is doin their thing but it's been 24 hours and nothin's changed... when are they gonna catch this guy?! 
Boyd's been through so much already with his injury and now this? can't even imagine how tough it must be for him & his family #PrayForKrisBoyd . hope he recovers soon & gets back to doin what he loves - playin football!

. This is the last thing we need, more gun violence in our communities... it just feels like déjà vu all over again 
.
. It's crazy that something like this could happen to him, especially in NYC where you've got to be careful all the time. The Jets are gonna have to take care of him while he recovers from his injury 
. I hope he can get back on the field soon, but first, let's just focus on getting him better 
. It's not cool when something like this happens to an athlete and their fans are worried about them 
.
. As an NFL player, Boyd has always been known for his toughness on the field, but nothing can truly prepare you for the trauma of being shot. The NYPD's slow investigation pace is also concerning 
. It would be great if they could make some progress soon and bring the perpetrator to justice 
. Anyway, I'm keeping Kris Boyd in my prayers 
.
ugh dont even get me started on these forums lol like how do we even know about this news from like 10 minutes after it happens 
the platform just cant keep up i swear sometimes its like theyre more interested in getting views than actually reporting on actual events 
anyways gotta send my thoughts and prayers to Kris Boyd 
1.6 million for a guy who's not even sure if he'll make it through the season? seems like a pretty penny to me 
. seriously though, hope he recovers fast and gets back on the field, jets fans are gonna freak out if they don't see him playing soon 
The police need to get their act together and catch whoever did this ASAP 
I'm sending all my positive vibes to Kris Boyd, hope he recovers soon 
️ 
I'm guessing the NYPD will figure it out eventually.
just saw that Kris Boyd is in critical condition after being shot outside a restaurant in Manhattan... two shots fired 
... BMW SUV getaway car 
, this kind of thing makes u wanna lock urself indoors 24/7 
... Boyd's been through some ups & downs on the field, but this is just cruel 
. A gunshot wound to the abdomen is no joke 
. As an NFL fan myself, it's always scary when someone you love is hurt like this 
. The fact that the gunman just walked away with a BMW 
!
. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed for Kris' speedy recovery 
.
. We all hope Kris recovers quickly and gets back to doing what he loves – playing football!
