New York Jets Player Kris Boyd Survives Shooting, Suspect Charged with Attempted Murder
A 20-year-old Bronx man has been charged with attempted murder in connection with a shooting that left New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd injured. The incident occurred on November 16th in midtown Manhattan after a night out at a club, where Boyd and his friends were approached by a group of men who made fun of their clothing.
According to police, the situation escalated into a fight, resulting in Boyd being shot in the abdomen. Fortunately, the young player received medical attention and later visited the Jets' facility, surprising teammates with his determination to return to action.
The suspect, identified as Frederick Green, is also facing additional charges of assault and criminal possession of a weapon. It is unclear if Green has an attorney at this time.
Boyd's near-fatal shooting was a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by athletes off the field. The 29-year-old cornerback had already overcome significant personal struggles during his childhood, losing his father and the grandmother who helped raise him, to achieve success in his career.
Despite the traumatic event, Boyd's resilience has been inspiring, with the player expressing gratitude for the "little things" in life that keep him smiling. His positive outlook on adversity is a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
As the Jets navigate their challenging season off the field, this incident serves as another stark reminder of the risks athletes face when venturing out into public. The team's players and staff are likely still reeling from the recent losses of two prominent teammates, Nick Mangold and Marshawn Kneeland, who died at young ages while seeking medical treatment.
The charges against Green will undoubtedly bring closure for Boyd and his loved ones, but it also highlights the ongoing need for vigilance and awareness in preventing such incidents.

I mean, what's a little attempted murder among friends? 
Can't a guy just get shot trying to keep up with those club crowds? 
At least Kris Boyd is okay, that's all that matters... not the 20-year-old dude who thought he could take down a pro football player. 
Anyway, gotta feel for KD on this one, losing his dad and then getting shot. That's some tough stuff right there. 
. It's like, you're on top of your game, crushing it on the field, but then life hits you with something like this 
. I mean, can you even imagine walking out of a club one night and just getting caught up in a situation that could've ended so badly? But here's the thing... Kris Boyd didn't let it break him. He came back stronger 
, more determined to keep pushing through.
, and that's what got him through this tough time.
, but it's how you respond that defines the story you tell yourself 
.
I mean, that kid's already been through so much with losing his dad and grandma, and now he gets shot in midtown Manhattan after a night out at a club? It's just...wow. The fact that he's not only okay but also determined to return to the game is truly inspiring 
.
.
. And poor Frederick Green, he's gotta be facing some serious charges now 
. It's like, we're always hearing about athletes getting hurt or even killed in their free time, and it's just not right 
. The way he's handling all this with positivity and gratitude is a major lesson to us all 
. And I'm sure the Jets' team is still reeling from those losses of Nick Mangold and Marshawn Kneeland... it's just so sad 
.
. We gotta be more aware of what's going on around us, and look out for each other 
.
as if we can't even enjoy ourselves without some psycho shooting someone 
what's wrong with people?? and now the jets are having to deal with all these drama & losses too it's just too much 
and i'm glad he's ok but this whole thing is still super concerning... we need to be doing more to prevent stuff like this from happening in the first place 
. I hope he gets the help he needs, 'cause this ain't no joke. Anyone else think the Jets should've had more security at that club? It's just so random that Kris ended up getting shot in midtown Manhattan... what were they thinking?! 
20 yrs old charged w/ attempted murder still can't believe it 
. And the fact that this guy's friends were at the club with him doesn't even factor into it - it's not like they did anything wrong either.
At the end of the day, someone like Green could have easily killed him, and no one would even bat an eye 
. The real question is why are we surprised this happened in the first place? 
. I feel bad for the guy who did this, like he's lost his way somehow. Poor kid needs help, you know? 
But I guess that's what happens when we can't resolve our problems peacefully 
. It's a sobering reminder of the dangers that athletes face off the field and the importance of prioritizing their safety 
.
I'm not saying the Jets' players are unaware of the risks, but it's like, you're in the public eye 24/7, you gotta be ready for anything. And what really gets me is that he had just overcome so much already... losing his dad and all that... and then this happens. It's just not fair. 
. Let's all just try to be kinder and more understanding, okay?
