MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) — New York City police released new images of the suspect they are looking for after NFL player Kris Boyd was shot in Midtown over the weekend.
The New York Jets cornerback is now recovering at Bellevue Hospital, where he is said to be critical but stable.
Police are working around the clock to find the person who pulled the trigger, who is still at large.
Eyewitness News obtained new video of the person police are trying to track down.
The man was last seen wearing a black cap, black sweatshirt, black pants, multi-colored sneakers and carrying a black book bag.
Around 2 a.m. Sunday, a verbal dispute turned violent as the NFL player was leaving a popular midtown Asian Fusion restaurant on West 38th Street.
When cops arrived, Boyd had a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was rushed to Bellevue Hospital.
It’s still unclear of the relationship, if any, between the gunman and Boyd.

As many in the NFL react to the shooting, teammate and friend Jermaine Johnson took to social media writing in part, “Everybody please send prayers to my brother and teammate Kris Boyd and his family!”
The Jets also released a brief statement saying they’re aware of the situation involving Boyd, but did not provide further details.
If anyone has any information, you are asked to call police.
Boyd, a cornerback, is in his first season with the Jets after signing a one-year, $1.6 million contract in free agency, but hasn’t played after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in the preseason.
He was a seventh-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2019. He spent four seasons with the Vikings before playing for the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans.
