Favre, who played for the Jets for one season of his career, shared his thoughts about being out late as a famous football player.

“It might be a little bit safer in Green Bay and you may not be out at 2 o’clock in Green Bay,” he said on “4th and Favre.” “New York – being out at 2 o’clock is not a big deal. It’s a big city. Lots to do. Lots of places to eat. Lots of places to hang out.

“I don’t know this young man. Sounds like he was enjoying himself at a restaurant. Regardless if it was 2 or 8 o’clock, it’s sad we have to talk about this more and more these days. But prayers for him and his family.”

Police released photos of a suspect they said discharged the firearm that led to Boyd being shot.

“The sought individual is described as male, medium complexion,” police said. “He was last seen wearing a black cap, black sweatshirt, black pants, multi-colored sneakers, and carrying a black bookbag.”
