BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A person of interest in the shooting of New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd is in custody in Buffalo, police sources told ABC News.
According to ABC News, sources said the 20-year-old man surrendered himself to law enforcement in Buffalo on Monday morning. No charges were immediately filed. He will likely return to NYC to face charges.
The U.S. Marshal Service confirmed to 7 News that they took a person of interest in the shooting into custody in Amherst.
Boyd was shot in the abdomen outside a business on West 38th Street near 7th Avenue in New York City on November 16. According to ESPN, the bullet traveled to his lung and lodged in the pulmonary artery and he underwent multiple medical procedures.
