NEW YORK (AP) — A Bronx man has been charged with attempted murder in
the shooting of New York Jets' player Kris Boyd, police announced
Tuesday.
The New York Police Department said Frederick Green, 20, was charged
late Monday night. Police had revealed Monday that a “person of
interest” was in custody but didn't name them. Green is likely to appear
in court later Tuesday. |

It was not immediately clear if Green has an attorney. He also
faces additional charges of assault and criminal possession of a
weapon, police said.
Boyd was shot in the abdomen just after 2 a.m. on Nov. 16 in
midtown Manhattan, after Boyd, his friend and two other Jets'
players, Irvin Charles and Jamien Sherwood, left a club and were
approached by a group of men who made fun of their clothing,
police told reporters at a news briefing.
A fight eventually broke out between the men and Boyd was shot,
police said. Boyd and his friends were not armed.
Boyd was hospitalized after the shooting but a few weeks later
visited the Jets' facility, surprising teammates and attending a
special teams meeting.
The Jets signed Boyd earlier this year but he was injured during
a practice this summer and has not yet played for the team. He
played his first four seasons in the NFL with the Minnesota
Vikings, later signing with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023 and
then joining Houston’s practice squad later that season.
