The NYPD released fresh surveillance photos of the suspected gunman wanted in the shooting of New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd in Midtown Manhattan. Authorities say the man opened fire early Sunday morning on West 38th Street in Midtown Manhattan, striking Boyd in the abdomen during a heated argument. Emergency crews rushed Boyd to Bellevue Hospital, where he remains in critical yet stable condition.
Investigators shared several clear images from nearby cameras. The suspect wears a black cap, black hoodie, black pants, and colorful sneakers while carrying a dark backpack. Detectives believe he fled on foot immediately after the shooting. Officers continue to review additional footage from surrounding blocks as they build a timeline of the confrontation.

Police have not confirmed a motive. They still cannot determine whether the gunman targeted Boyd or reacted to a spontaneous dispute. Detectives interviewed multiple witnesses, but they still need more information to identify the shooter. The department urged New Yorkers to contact Crime Stoppers with any tips.
The Jets acknowledged the shooting but chose not to issue details. Several teammates posted messages of support online and encouraged fans to pray for Boyd’s recovery. Coaches and team officials visited Boyd’s family at the hospital and offered assistance.
The investigation remains active, and police hope public recognition of the suspect’s images will lead to a swift arrest.
