Authorities have taken a person of interest into custody in connection with the November shooting of New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd, who was critically wounded outside a Manhattan restaurant.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the 29-year-old NFL player was shot in the abdomen around 2 a.m. on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue on November 16.
The suspect was apprehended in Buffalo, New York, with the help of U.S. Marshals and NYPD detectives, according to a report from NBC News.
As of Monday evening, the suspect had not been publicly named.
According to investigators, the attack stemmed from a verbal confrontation with a group of strangers who taunted Boyd and his friends, including two Jets teammates, saying something like, “You think you’re better than us?”
The group went inside the club, but the dispute escalated when they exited approximately ten minutes later, leading to the gunman firing two shots.
