New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd has been left fighting for his life after being shot in the abdomen in Midtown Manhattan early on Sunday morning, according to a report.
The NYPD confirmed to The Daily Mail that a 29-year-old man was shot in the abdomen at around 2am ET on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue.
The police would not identify the victim at this time but The New York Post reported that sources confirmed it to be Boyd.
Boyd was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, the oldest public hospital in the United States, where he is said to be clinging to his life. Police said that he was in critical but stable condition.
The shooting took place outside Sei Less, an Asian fusion restaurant, which happens to be a favorite hotspot of celebrities including Cardi B, 50 Cent, Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg. The Daily Mail reached out to the establishment for comment.
The altercation is said to have occurred after a verbal dispute escalated, resulting in the gunman firing two shots.
There have been no arrests so far as police investigate the shooting. Police say they are looking for a man who fled in a blue BMW in connection to the shooting.
