NEW YORK (WABC) — Frederick Green, 20, of the Bronx, was arraigned late last night and faces charges of attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon following the November shooting of Jets player Kris Boyd in Midtown Manhattan.
Authorities were able to track Green down using tips and surveillance video.
Green was found in an off-campus apartment at the University at Buffalo North Campus in Amhurst on Monday morning, where he surrendered to authorities.
“After about 15 minutes, he did realize that he wasn’t going to get away. He peeked out the window, we thought he was going to jump out but we had a good perimeter… Eventually he just came out with his hands up and was taken into custody,” a U.S. Marshall detailed Green’s arrest.
He was transferred to a Midtown police precinct where he was questioned.
He has four prior arrests, one for reckless endangerment in 2024 and three others that are sealed — unlawful possession of personal identification and criminal possession of a controlled substance earlier this year and a robbery arrest in 2018, when he was a juvenile.
Prosecutors say Green’s appearance was quite different than on November 16, cutting his hair in an attempt to avoid apprehension.
Boyd was shot in the abdomen on Nov. 16, and the bullet traveled to his lung and lodged in the pulmonary artery, police said. He underwent multiple medical procedures, posting Nov. 19 that he was “starting to breathe on my own.“
Last week, Boyd surprised teammates by showing up at the team facility.
Boyd, known for his special teams prowess, attended the special team’s meeting. At the end of the session, he was the player who broke down the meeting, much to the delight of his teammates. He stayed much of the day, reconnecting with teammates and coaches.
“I’m pretty sure every single person that walked by gave him a dap up, a high five or a semi-hug,” said defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, who was teammates with Boyd on the Minnesota Vikings in 2022.
