Video shows moments New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd shot outside Midtown Manhattan nightclub
New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd is reportedly improving after being critically injured in a shooting outside a well-known Manhattan venue early Sunday morning.
According to one of his closest friends, Boyd is now in “good condition” as he continues to recover in the hospital.
Ernest Quander, who has known Boyd since his college football days at the University of Texas, shared a reassuring update.
“He’s all good right now. He’s in good condition. He’s doing real good,” Quander said. “He’s a soldier, through tough times… He’s fine. He’s fine.”
Boyd, 29, was shot twice in the abdomen near a restaurant on West 38th Street just after 2 a.m., according to the NYPD.
Witnesses reported that two luxury vehicles — one believed to be connected to the gunman — fled the scene immediately after shots were fired.
Boyd was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he arrived in critical but stable condition and was reportedly drifting in and out of consciousness.
No formal medical update has been released by authorities or the team since the initial report.
Quander told media he is traveling to New York to be with Boyd, noting that although the two are close in age, he has long served as a mentor and “father figure” to the defensive back, especially throughout Boyd’s transition to the National Football League.
The Jets organization acknowledged awareness of the shooting, issuing a brief statement:
“We are aware of the situation involving Kris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time.”
Boyd, currently on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury sustained in practice, has not appeared in a game this season.
He joined the Jets in March after previously playing for the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, and Houston Texans following his selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.
No arrests have been announced, and police have not publicly confirmed a motive as the investigation remains ongoing.

Noe Santillan Rincon Accused of Inappropriately Touching 5-Year-Old Shot 14 Times, 18-Year-Old Alishon Torres Charged with Murder
An 18-year-old woman in Memphis, Tennessee, is facing a murder charge after police say she shot a man multiple times following allegations that he had inappropriately touched a young child.
According to the Memphis Police Department, officers responded shortly before 2:00 a.m. on February 26, 2026, to reports of a person lying in the roadway in the Willowview area of Memphis.
When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was later identified as Noe Santillan Rincon.
Investigators determined that Rincon had been shot approximately 14 times and was pronounced dead at the scene.
As detectives began investigating the case, they traced Rincon’s final movements.
According to police, he had been staying at a residence with a woman who told officers that he left the home around 1:00 a.m., stating he was going to a nearby store.
A short time later, the woman reported receiving calls from Rincon’s phone. The caller, however, was not Rincon. Police say the person using the phone was her 18-year-old daughter, Alishon Torres.
Authorities later located Torres and brought her in for questioning. During the investigation, detectives say Torres described events that allegedly led to the fatal shooting.
According to court documents, three to four weeks prior to the incident, a 5-year-old girl reported that Rincon had touched her inappropriately. Police say Torres later encountered Rincon in the Willowview area and asked to borrow his phone.
Investigators allege that Torres then confronted Rincon about the accusation. During the confrontation, police say she shot him multiple times while the two were inside a van.
After the shooting, authorities say Torres drove the vehicle to an abandoned house, where she allegedly attempted to repaint the van in an effort to conceal evidence. She later left the vehicle at a nearby apartment complex.
Police say that when Torres was taken into custody, a handgun fell from her purse, which she admitted was one of the weapons used in the shooting. According to investigators, she also told detectives she had sold or given away a second firearm after the incident.
Torres has since been charged with murder in connection with Rincon’s death.
The case remains under investigation as authorities continue gathering evidence and reviewing the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
The case has sparked significant debate online and within the community. While some argue that individuals should not take the law into their own hands, others have expressed strong emotions regarding the allegations that preceded the deadly confrontation.
Legal proceedings will ultimately determine the outcome of the case as it moves through the court system.
