Gunman Indicted For Attempted Murder In NYC Shooting Of NFL Player

NEW YORK CITY — A man has been indicted on attempted murder charges in connection with the shooting of New York Jets player Kris Boyd outside a Midtown restaurant in November, prosecutors announced on Wednesday.

Frederick Green, 20, of the Bronx, has been charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon. He was pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The 29-year-old NFL player was shot in the abdomen in front of Sei Less on West 38th Street on Nov. 16.

According to police, Boyd and three others got into an argument outside the restaurant with another group that included Green. The situation quickly escalated, and a fight broke out.

Green is accused of pulling out a gun and shooting Boyd twice in the abdomen before getting into a vehicle and fleeing the scene.

The 20-year-old fled to Buffalo, where he hid out at his girlfriend's apartment until he ultimately was arrested on Dec. 8.

“As alleged, Frederick Green fired two shots outside a restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, nearly turning a physical altercation into a fatal one,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “Gun violence has no place in Manhattan. My thoughts are with the victim, who continues to heal from this near-fatal shooting.”

Boyd had to return to the hospital as he continues to deal with complications from his injuries.
