When officers arrived, Boyd, 29, was found with a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was transported to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition. \u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The New\u202fYork\u202fPolice\u202fDepartment confirmed a male was shot in the location, though they did not immediately identify the victim. Multiple media outlets later reported the wounded individual was Jets player Kris\u202fBoyd. \u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing. Police say the suspect was seen fleeing in an SUV. \u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boyd joined the Jets earlier in 2025 after previous stops with the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans.
