The violent Bronx nut accused of shooting Jets cornerback Kris Boyd in the stomach outside a Manhattan eatery last month fled to Buffalo, ditched his cellphone, and chopped off his hair in a failed attempt to hide out from cops, prosecutors revealed late Tuesday.
Frederick Green, 20, was arraigned Tuesday night in Manhattan Criminal Court on attempted murder, assault, and weapons possession charges for the pre-dawn shooting that left the 29-year-old NFL star gravely wounded outside Asian-fusion hotspot Sei Less on West 38th Street on Nov. 16.
The entire incident was captured on surveillance footage, in which Green, of the Bronx, allegedly appeared unmasked “before, during, and after the shooting,” Assistant District Attorney Sarah Csanadi told the courtroom.
Boyd was out on the town with Gang Green linebacker Jamien Sherwood, wide receiver Irvin Charles, and a friend from Texas when a group started to “chirp” at them about their flashy outfits outside the restaurant near Seventh Avenue, police said.
The athletes ducked into the eatery, a popular spot for celebrities, but stayed only about 10 minutes, walking back out around 2 a.m. — where the same group immediately resumed hurling insults and mocking their clothing.
That’s when Green allegedly opened fire, shooting Boyd and causing a bullet fragment to enter a vein, become lodged in his pulmonary artery, and end up in his lung, according to prosectors. The gunman then bolted and hopped into a white BMW that sped off, police said.
Green fled to Buffalo, where he hid at a female acquaintance’s apartment, Csanadi alleged.
While there, evidence shows he cut “an extensive amount” of his hair off in an attempt to conceal his identity, changed his phone device, and deactivated his social media accounts to keep law enforcement off his tail, prosecutors alleged.
Green was located and detained at the apartment in Buffalo on Monday after cops tracked a gray Mercedes registered to his girlfriend, law enforcement sources said.
As officers tried to detain him, he attempted to jump out of a window to avoid being apprehended, Csanadi told the court.
Prosecutors told Judge Kacie Lally that Green had no intention of returning to Manhattan to face law enforcement.
Boyd was initially listed in critical but stable condition — but just days later, he shared a hopeful Instagram update announcing he was finally breathing on his own.
Several days after that, he told followers he’d been discharged for a short time but had to return to the hospital “due to my health issues”, adding that he wouldn’t be in contact.
Boyd continues to suffer from complications from the wounds and possibly requires additional surgery, Csanadi revealed.
Boyd — a 5-foot-11 defensive back for Gang Green — joined the Jets this year after breaking into the league with the Minnesota Vikings in 2019. He’s also logged time with the Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans.
Green was held without bail following his Tuesday night arraignment.
The alleged shooter has four prior arrests on his record — most of them sealed — including raps earlier this year for unlawful possession of person’s ID and criminal possession of a controlled substance, sources said.
He was also busted as an adolescent offender in 2024 for reckless endangerment and had a sealed juvenile arrest in 2018 for robbery, according to sources.
The suspected shooter stayed silent as detectives escorted him out of the Midtown South Precinct on Tuesday afternoon for his arraignment.
In court, he remained mum while dressed in black sweat pants, a black North Face jacket, and a white surgical mask.
His mother, father, and stepfather were also present in the courtroom and appeared stoic during the late-night hearing.
Green’s defense attorney requested home detention and bail for the alleged shooter, but he was ultimately ordered to be held without bail by Judge Lally at the request of prosecutors.
He will return to court on Thursday.
