Celebrity Hotspot Becomes Crime Scene
The shooting unfolded outside Sei Less, an Asian-fusion restaurant that has become a magnet for celebrities, hip-hop artists, and music industry figures. Law enforcement sources revealed Boyd was with friends when an altercation erupted, resulting in two shots being fired.
The establishment’s celebrity clientele includes troubled rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who previously bought drinks for the entire venue during a visit, according to club founder Dara Mirjahangiry’s television appearance.
Suspects Escape as Witnesses Remain Silent
The gunman fled the scene in a BMW X6 SUV immediately after the shooting, while a second high-end silver Mercedes-Benz Maybach also departed rapidly. Police found a Rhino GX luxury armored SUV worth up to $300,000 parked outside the restaurant, though its connection to the incident remains unclear.
Despite the high-profile nature of the crime and multiple potential witnesses, law enforcement sources report that witnesses have been uncooperative with the investigation.
Career Sidelined by Injury Before Shooting
Boyd joined the Jets this season on a $1.6 million contract after spending the previous years with the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, and Houston Texans.
The 5-11 defensive back has earned over $8 million during his NFL career but hasn’t played a single snap this season due to a shoulder injury sustained during preseason practice.
His placement on injured reserve prior to this violent incident adds another tragic layer to what should have been a promising season with Gang Green.
Investigation Stalled Without Arrests
New York Police Department officials confirm no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting, and the investigation remains ongoing. The Jets organization released a brief statement acknowledging awareness of the situation but declined further comment.
This incident underscores the persistent violence plaguing even upscale areas of Manhattan, where law-abiding citizens and professional athletes alike face danger from criminals who operate with apparent impunity in America’s liberal-controlled urban centers.
