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.

Owner David Tepper Admits He Lacks the Competence to Run Football Operations
Can you believe it? David Tepper, the "notorious" owner of the Carolina Panthers, has finally "confessed" a truth that team fans have been waiting for years: He doesn't have enough ability to handle everything himself! But hold on, this isn't a "disaster" – it's a "positive twist" that's saving the Panthers! Is Tepper "letting go" to let the team soar? Read now to uncover the "secret" behind this shocking statement! David Tepper, the billionaire famous for his "deep interference" style in the Carolina Panthers, has undergone an astonishing positive change in ownership. Instead of "micromanaging" every decision like before, Tepper is now less involved, allowing football operations to run independently under the guidance of experts. The result? The team is achieving stability and success beyond expectations, currently tied for first in the NFC South with potential to return to the playoffs after many "sinking" seasons! At the annual charity event Joy to the Carolinas on December 9, 2025, Tepper expressed confidence in the organization's new direction, implicitly admitting that he's not a "superhero" who can run everything himself. He said: "It's not bad at all. It's pretty good; it's all just building blocks, and we'll see where we go. We'll see what happens. We think, as I've said, Dave Canales, Dan Morgan, Brandt Tilis, and everyone in the organization, we're building something special in Carolina. And we've built it outside the community. We're building it on the field, so that's the overall picture. Hopefully, we can continue and have that for many years. That's what we're looking for." This "confession" is actually a wise acknowledgment: Tepper recognizes past mistakes when pushing for quick results, leading to a series of disastrous failures like continuous coach firings and poor draft choices. Now, he supports his professional picks – like head coach Dave Canales, general manager Dan Morgan, and vice president Brandt Tilis – without "interfering." Instead, Tepper focuses on infrastructure (like stadium upgrades) and community efforts, transforming himself from a "demanding boss" to a "silent supporter"! The Panthers are exceeding expectations at the end of the season, with solid gameplay and higher team spirit than ever. Optimism is spreading without the "must-win now" pressure – something that once caused the team to "break apart" under old Tepper. Fans, after years of "disappointment," now appreciate Tepper's enthusiasm and improved role as a true asset. Many fans on social media comment: "Finally, Tepper knows to 'let go' – and the Panthers are soaring because of it!" Some even predict that if this approach is maintained, the Panthers could become the "big boss" of the NFC South for many years to come. But is this "admission" a sign that Tepper is about to sell the team? Or just a "ploy" to appease fans? The Panthers ownership scandal is "hotter than ever" – and Tepper's words could change the team's history! What do you think, is Tepper really "incompetent" or is he "playing fair"? Comment now and follow for the next NFL "drama"!
