NEW YORK (WABC) — A 20-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder in the November shooting Jets player Kris Boyd in Midtown, Manhattan.
Frederick Green, of the Bronx, is facing charges of attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon, officials said Tuesday.
Green was taken into custody at the University at Buffalo North Campus in Amhurst on Monday morning.
He was transferred to a Midtown police precinct where he was questioned.
He has four prior arrests, one for reckless endangerment in 2024 and three others that are sealed — unlawful possession of personal identification and criminal possession of a controlled substance earlier this year and a robbery arrest in 2018, when he was a juvenile.
Detectives had identified their suspect last month and have been actively looking for him.
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.
