A suspect in connection with the shooting of New York Jets player Kris Boyd has been arrested, authorities confirmed late Tuesday.
Fredrick Green, identified as 20-year-old Fredrick Green, was taken into custody Monday in Buffalo by U.S. Marshals New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force. Alongside attempted murder, he is also facing assault and criminal possession of a weapon charges.
The suspect allegedly fled the scene following Boyd's shooting on November 16th. The incident reportedly occurred when an exchange of words between Boyd, accompanied by two other Jets players and a friend, turned into a confrontation with another group "chirping" about their clothes.
New York Police Department confirmed Boyd was shot in his abdomen during the incident at around 2 am outside the Sei Less restaurant on West 38th Street. He underwent multiple treatments for a bullet lodged in his lung at Bellevue Hospital and later posted an update to his Instagram account, stating he had begun breathing on his own.
Boyd has been recovering from his injuries but made headlines once again when he paid a surprise visit to the Jets' team facility on December 3rd.

. its sad that a situation like this escalated into violence, and now Kris Boyd's still gotta deal with the aftermath of being shot 
. i mean, exchange of words? that doesn't sound right... but at the same time, its not like Fredrick was just walking around, waiting to shoot someone... maybe there was some underlying stuff going on that nobody knew about?
and now this guy who allegedly tried to kill him is behind bars. I mean, who talks trash about someone's clothes and ends up shooting them? The fact that he just disappeared after the incident makes it even weirder 
. It's like, what kind of mindset does someone have to think its okay to go around pulling guns on people over stupid stuff 
.
. But seriously, how many of these "chirp" incidents have to happen before someone gets hurt 
?
. I was so worried about him after that shooting in November 
. I mean, it's crazy that someone would think it's okay to try and hurt a player just 'cause of some stupid words 
. It's actually pretty inspiring that he went back to the team facility after all this 
. The Jets are lucky to have him, for sure! And now this new development with Fredrick Green being arrested... like, justice is finally being served 
. Still doesn't sit right with me that it came down to words and clothes 
. Can't we just be civilized about these things? 
I mean, what's next? Some dude gonna try and shoot Joe Burrow over a jersey disagreement? 
he seems like a cool dude just chillin at the restaurant, no need to turn into a psycho 
and btw why is it even called "chirping" bout their clothes ?? that's some kinda weird slang right there 
i mean, recovery from a bullet in the lung and now he's out there being his usual self, thats the kind of spirit we need more of 
anyways, glad to hear that he's on the mend tho 
guess they didn't take that confrontation too seriously 
So this Fredrick Green dude is like only 20 and already gets into some crazy stuff! Assault, attempted murder, and possessing a weapon? That's wild 
. It's crazy how one thing can lead to another and next thing you know, someone's getting arrested 
. Anyway, glad Kris is recovering well, but seriously, sports fans need to keep their cool... or at least not try to take out each other 
.

️. hoping Boyd makes a full recovery and gets back on the field soon
