11:24am: A quick update from an NYPD spokesman — provided by ESPN’s Rich Cimini — informs us that Boyd is in “critical but stable condition” at this moment. The spokesman also provided additional details on the gunshot wound sustained by Boyd “to the abdomen.” There have still be no arrests as the investigation remains ongoing.
11:10am: Early Sunday morning brought a troubling report out of Midtown in New York concerning the life and safety of Jets cornerback Kris Boyd, who is reportedly in critical condition and “clinging to life” following a shooting, per Joe Marino, Jorge Fitz-Gibbon, and Kirsten Fleming of the New York Post. 
The shooting reportedly took place on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue around 2:00am this morning. Police were not the ones to identify the victim of the shooting as Boyd to reporters, but the New York Post cites other sources for confirmation of identity. To this point, no shooters have been arrested, and the event is under investigation. Jonathan Jones of NFL on CBS relayed the following message from a Jets spokesperson:
We are aware of the situation involving Kris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time.
Boyd first came to the NFL as a seventh-round pick out of Texas in 2019. He played out his rookie contract in Minnesota, earning six starts across four years with the Vikings. In 2023, he was signed then cut by the Cardinals before landing on the Texans’ practice squad. He found his way to the team’s 53-man roster before the end of the season and played every game for Houston last year as a core special teamer.
This past March, Boyd signed a one-year deal with the Jets but was placed on injured reserve before the start of the regular season without a designation to return. We here at PFR send our best hopes and wishes to Boyd and his family as he remains in critical condition at Bellevue Hospital.

I’m waiting for ChuckyNJ to arrive and tell us that nothing reported by the New York Post can be trusted 🙂
38th & 7th Avenue, walking distance from Times Square and Port Authority Bus Terminal. Not a desirable neighborhood even in daytime.
It’s three blocks from Times Square. Tourists walk safely there all day every day.
