Person of interest in custody in shooting of Jets player Kris Boyd, surrendered in Buffalo, New York
A person of interest is in custody in Buffalo for allegedly shooting Jets player Kris Boyd in Midtown last month.
The 20-year-old man surrendered himself to law enforcement in Buffalo Monday morning.
No charges were immediately filed. He will return to New York City to face charges, likely in the coming days.
Boyd was shot in the abdomen on Nov. 16, and the bullet traveled to his lung and lodged in the pulmonary artery, police said. He underwent multiple medical procedures, posting Nov. 19 that he was “starting to breathe on my own.”
Last week, Boyd surprised teammates by showing up at the team facility.
Boyd, known for his special teams prowess, attended the special teams meeting. At the end of the session, he was the player who broke down the meeting, much to the delight of his teammates. He stayed much of the day, reconnecting with teammates and coaches.
“I’m pretty sure every single person that walked by gave him a dap up, a high five or a semi-hug,” said defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, who was teammates with Boyd on the Minnesota Vikings in 2022.
