New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd still has a bullet lodged in his lung after being shot over the weekend.
The 29-year-old athlete is in stable condition despite the bullet going through his abdomen and becoming stuck in his right lung, ABC 7 NY and ABC News reported on Monday, Nov. 17.
He has undergone several surgeries following the shooting, the outlets reported.
The incident reportedly happened in New York City at approximately 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 16. The sports star was with two of his teammates outside of Sei Less, an Asian fusion restaurant on West 38th Street.
Although a motive remains unclear, authorities believe the altercation could have occurred after the suspect allegedly tried to steal Boyd’s necklace, according to ABC 7 NY. The news station also shared surveillance footage of the suspect, whose identity has not yet been made public.
Boyd, who was previously in critical condition at Bellevue Hospital, has spoken with police since the incident, the outlet shared.
PEOPLE did not immediately receive a response from the New York Police Department.
“We are aware of the situation involving Kris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time,” a spokesperson for the New York Jets previously told PEOPLE.
Several Jets players have spoken out in support of Boyd following the incident, urging prayers and wishing him a swift recovery.
“Everybody please send prayers to my brother and teammate Kris Boyd and his family!!! Lord please hold your healing hand over Kris and guide him back to health and safety. Lord I ask that you please just get him through this safely. In your name, Amen,” Jets defensive end Jermaine Johnson wrote on X Sunday morning.
