Tyler Shough’s Shocking Moment: Just One Hour After Leaving Sei Less with His Wife, He Learns a Jets Cornerback Was Shot Outside
New York What was supposed to be a peaceful weekend evening turned into a haunting memory for New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, after he learned that a shooting occurred just one hour after he and his wife had dinner at Sei Less, a popular upscale restaurant in Midtown Manhattan.
During the Saints’ Bye Week, Shough and his wife visited Sei Less, a hotspot frequently visited by athletes and celebrities. Less than an hour after leaving the restaurant, news broke that New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd had been shot outside the very same location.
The incident occurred shortly after 2 a.m. on Sunday, on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue. According to law enforcement sources, Boyd was shot in the abdomen after a dispute turned violent outside the restaurant. Two gunshots were fired. The gunman reportedly fled the scene in a black BMW X8, and a second silver Mercedes-Benz Maybach was also seen leaving the area shortly after. Photos taken by police also showed a Rhino GX, a luxury armored SUV worth up to $300,000, parked outside Sei Less during the aftermath.

The team later confirmed that Kris Boyd, a 5-foot-11 defensive back who joined the Jets in March 2025, was the victim. Boyd previously played for the Vikings, Cardinals, and Texans, and is known primarily for his work on special teams. His career stats include over 100 tackles and 1 interception. He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he is currently in critical but stable condition.
Tyler Shough, visibly shaken, gave a brief statement upon hearing the news:
"I felt a chill go down my spine. I honestly can’t believe something like that happened right where my wife and I had just been. An hour earlier, we were laughing, enjoying dinner. Now someone’s fighting for their life. I’m praying hard for Kris and his family. I hope he pulls through."
Police have made no arrests as of now, and the investigation remains ongoing. Sources say that witnesses at the scene have not been cooperative, making it more difficult to identify the shooter.
