Favre, who spent one season of his career in the Jets, shared his thoughts about being away from the field until late hours as a famous football player.

“You might be a little bit safer in Green Bay and not be out at 2 a.m. in Green Bay,” he said. “4th and Favre.” “New York, being out at 2 a.m. isn’t that big of a deal. It’s a big city. There’s a lot to do. There’s a lot of places to eat. There’s a lot of places to hang out.”

“I don’t know this young man. He looks like he’s having fun at a restaurant. It’s sad that we have to talk about this more these days, whether it’s 2 o’clock or 8 o’clock. But we’re praying for him and his family.”

Police released photos of a suspect they say fired the firearm that led to Boyd’s shooting.

Police said, “The wanted person was stated to be male and of medium complexion.” “He was last seen wearing a black hat, black sweater, black trousers, multi-coloured sneakers and carrying a black school bag.”
