THE BARE STORY

A suspect has been arrested and charged in the November 16 shooting of New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd in Midtown Manhattan, according to authorities. The individual was taken into custody in Buffalo, New York, on Monday. Law enforcement sources identified the suspect as 20-year-old Fredrick Green.

According to those sources, Green faces charges of attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. A statement from a U.S. Marshals task force confirmed it collaborated with New York police to locate and arrest the suspect, who it said fled after the shooting. Police sources indicated the incident may have stemmed from an exchange of words concerning clothing between Boyd's group and another group.

The shooting occurred in the early morning outside a restaurant on West 38th Street. Boyd, 29, sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was hospitalized. One report stated he underwent treatments for a bullet that lodged in his lung. Boyd later posted on social media that he was breathing on his own but had to briefly return to the hospital for unspecified health issues after his initial discharge.

Boyd, who has been on the injured reserve list and has not played this season, visited the Jets' team facility on December 3. Early in the investigation, police released images of a person of interest, but it was not clarified whether the individual arrested is the same person depicted in those photos.
