Chris Boyd, a New York Jets football player, was shot in the abdomen early Sunday, according to US media.
The New York Police Department told CBS News, the BBC’s partner in the US, that the 29-year-old was in critical condition in hospital. The NYPD did not name Boyd as the victim, but a Jets spokesman confirmed to the BBC that Boyd had been shot.
At approximately 02:00 local time (07:00 GMT) on Sunday morning, police received a 911 call about a shooting in midtown Manhattan. Police responded to a location outside an upscale restaurant called Sei Less.
The NYPD told CBS the investigation is still ongoing and police do not have a suspect in custody.
A Jets spokesperson told the BBC: “We are aware of the situation regarding Chris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time.”
Before joining the Jets earlier this year, Boyd played two seasons with the Houston Texans, following one season with the Arizona Cardinals and four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.
The cornerback was on injured reserve for the Jets after suffering a shoulder injury during team practice in August.
New York Jets player Jermaine Johnson posted on X asking for prayers for his teammate.
“Lord, please hold your healing hand on Chris and guide him to health and safety. Lord, I ask that you make him go through this safely,” Johnson wrote.
Other fans were reacting to X, praying for Boyd’s recovery.
