The NYPD has released footage of the alleged gunman in the shooting of New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd.
Kris Boyd is currently in critical condition after he was shot in the abdomen outside of the restaurant Sei Less on West 38 Street near Seventh Avenue around 2 am on Sunday.
According to the New York Post, the shooting was the result of a dispute that became violent.
A source told the newspaper that the gunman fled the scene in a BMW after firing off two shots. A second vehicle, a silver Mercedes-Benz, was also seen fleeing the scene.
Boyd was out with friends before the shooting incident. It’s unclear if he was the intended target and remains in “critical but stable condition.”
The NYPD Shares Details On The Alleged Shooter
Newsweek shared more information provided by the NYPD on the alleged shooter:
In response to a request for comment, the New York Police Department shared a release with Newsweek and said the department is “asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the individual depicted in the attached media, wanted in connection with an assault that occurred within the confines of the Midtown South Precinct.”
The release said the unidentified individual they are seeking “discharged a firearm, striking a 29-year-old male victim in the abdomen”.
“The unidentified individual fled the location on foot traveling eastbound on West 38 Street to parts unknown,” the release read.
“The sought individual is described as male, medium complexion. He was last seen wearing a black cap, black sweatshirt, black pants, multi-colored sneakers, and carrying a black bookbag.”
Boyd’s NFL brethren and others have shared their thoughts and prayers; you can see those below.

One email in the Jeffrey Epstein files referencing “blowing Bubba” regarding Donald Trump has been the talk of the internet, but according to Epstein’s brother, it’s not what many think.
Social media has been on fire following the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails that mention Donald Trump and plenty of other high-profile individuals.
One email correspondence between the dead disgraced financier / convicted sex trafficker and his brother, Mark Epstein, has caught fire on social media.
Donald Trump, who still claims he didn’t have close ties to Epstein, calling the investigation a “hoax,” was mentioned a whopping 1500 times in the 20,000 documents released.
In one email from Epstein’s brother, Mark, it claims there are photos of Trump “blowing Bubba,” with many immediately thinking “Bubba” is none other than Bill Clinton, whose nickname is famously Bubba.
Speaking with Newsweek, Mark Epstein revealed that “Bubba” is not the former president, but didn’t provide the identity of “Bubba” or any other additional details.
Social Media Has Been Clowning Donald Trump About “Blowing Bubba”
Epstein debunking Trump and Clinton’s schenanigans comes after social media had a field day with the contents of the released email.
Orange Mussolini has not been able to wrap his head around the Epstein Files, which is looking like the one thing his supporters won’t turn a blind eye to.
Even House Republicans, including extreme MAGA loyalists like Marjorie Taylor Greene, are signaling they will join Democrats in voting for the full release of the files.
Greene has been leading the charge, and was also singled out by her orange lord and savior, who took back his support of Greene, promising to back someone to primary her.
Welp.
The Epstein Files are an issue that Trump will not be able to make go away.

ELIJAH NOUVELAGE / Donald Trump / Marjorie Taylor Green
The MAGA wall, which seemed impervious, is starting to crack, and it’s all thanks to Republicans not siding with Donald Trump regarding the release of the Epstein files.
In one of his latest Truth Social rants, Donald Trump snatched back his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of his most staunch and loudest allies, even going as far as to personally attack her because she is one of four Republicans in the House of Representatives in support of the release of the Epstein files.
Trump’s social media attacks on Green are significant as they highlight a political breakup no one had on their bingo cards, and signal that Trump could be losing his grip on the Republican party, because it seems protecting pedophiles is a bridge too far for them.
They still have no issues pushing racist policies, but that’s a whole other argument.
The Back & Forth No One Saw Coming
Trump and Greene have been going back and forth on social media after she has openly criticized her Orange Lord and Savior on several issues, like his labeling the Epstein case a hoax, and his focus on foreign policy instead of his “America first” agenda.
“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Trump said in a Truth Social post, while adding that Greene, who is up for reelection in 2026, has “gone Far Left.”
He continued, “She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”
Marjorie Taylor Green Responds
Greene has clapped back on her social media accounts, while at the same time still trying to show that she is a fan of Orange Mussolini, writing on her X account:
“This and the Epstein files is why I’m being attacked by President Trump. It really makes you wonder what is in those files and who and what country is putting so much pressure on him? I forgive him and I will pray for him to return to his original MAGA promises.”
Welp.
As you can imagine, social media, particularly those on the left, who are no fans of either of these individuals, have been seated for the drama and are loving every minute of it.

As more revelations about the Epstein Files and Donald Trump’s closeness to the disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker surface, journalist Michael Wolff decided to share even more details, and spoiler alert, it doesn’t make Trump look good.
Michael Wolff revealed after his emails with Epstein were released that he advised the convicted sex trafficker on how to manipulate the then-presidential candidate.
In the 2015 email, Epstein wonders what Trump would say if asked about their relationship during the presidential debate.
“I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency,” Wolff told Epstein.
“You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt,” Wolff continued. “Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.”
Michael Wolff Hopped On Instagram With Receipts
Wolff hopped on Instagram to further speak on Trump’s relationship with Epstein while also trying to tiptoe around the ethical issues that came with working with Epstein.
“This morning, the House Oversight Committee released emails directly linking Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein,” and that “some of those emails are between Epstein and me, with Epstein discussing his relationship with Donald Trump,” began in his video.
He claimed that he has “been trying to talk about this story for a very long time now,” while indicating the recently released emails are an indication that “this is, well, perhaps we’re getting close to the smoking gun.”
He continued by adding that Trump and Epstein,” had the closest of relationships for more than a decade” and “shared everything,” from women, financial advice, and even airplanes.
“You know, it’s curious that Epstein’s relationship with so many people in public life has damaged them considerably, but the one person who he was closest to has not been held accountable. That’s Donald Trump.”
Well damn.
As of right now, Trump and his White House are in panic mode as more emails continue to drop. Trump has even gone from claiming the Epstein investigation is a government hoax to now urging Pam Bondi and his highly partisan DOJ to investigate Democrats like Bill Clinton’s involvement with Epstein to save face.
Not sure how that will work out for Trump, but you can see more reactions to his crashout below.
Apple / Digital ID
Apple is always looking for ways to make life easier through your iPhone, of course. The company’s latest idea, Digital IDs, isn’t going over as well as Apple hoped.
Apple has officially rolled out a Digital IDs feature that will allow users to create and add an ID to their Apple Wallet using their US passport.
The tech giant says the Digital ID acceptance will “roll out first” at TSA checkpoints for domestic travel in over 250 airports.
Apple says Digital ID can serve as an alternative for travelers who have yet to upgrade to a Real ID, and you can present it at TSA checkpoints using your iPhone or Apple Watch.
However, you’ll still need to hold on to your passport for international travel, as a Digital ID cannot be used for traveling abroad or for border crossings.
Apple Has Already Pushed The Idea of Putting Your ID on Your Smartphone
The Digital ID isn’t the first time Apple has toyed around with the IDs. Apple is already allowing users in 12 states, including Puerto Rico, to store their driver’s licenses/IDs, but Digital ID gives those outside those states an alternative to Real ID.
Social Media Is Skeptical
The announcement of the Digital ID isn’t going over well with everyone, sparking major privacy concerns, especially among those who already feel “big brother” is watching them through their phones.
“Well, Apple just rolled out “Digital ID.” The surrender of privacy is about to hit warp speed. This is step one of your digital leash, gift-wrapped as convenience. Once it’s “normalized,” it’s irreversible. Then it’s “optional.” Until it’s not,” one post on X, formerly Twitter, read.
Others are stressing that this is even more reason for you not to hand over your smartphones to law enforcement.
Well, it’s entirely up to you whether you want to participate in this feature. We can recall a time when it was frowned upon to put your credit cards in your phone, but now tap-to-pay is one of the most widely used features on smartphones and smartwatches.
It’s entirely plausible that Digital IDs will become popular over time.
Until then, you can see more reactions below.

Tory Lanez is not getting out of jail.
On Wednesday (Nov. 12), the California Court of Appeals affirmed Lanez’s conviction and 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff shared on social media.
The news is the latest legal setback for Canadian Yosemite Sam and his stans, who thought he had a chance to get out of prison.
The decision comes after Thee Stallion’s attorney, Alex Spiro, dropped a 31-page report in May, slamming Lanez’s team and his supporters for trying to undermine the conviction.
In a statement shared by Rolling Stone, Spiro said:
Despite Mr. Lanez being convicted at trial by overwhelming evidence (that included his own admission of his guilt), he and his team—flanked by any ignorant person they can find—have pushed whatever misleading narrative they can.
One by one, their misleading statements unravel, and all that is left is the simple truth: he was convicted by overwhelming evidence, and those who seek to traumatize the victim of the crime should be called out as foolish bullies.
The report also shared that Ring camera footage and DNA evidence on the gun indicated it was a 90 percent likelihood that it was a male who fired the weapon.
Tory Lanez Other Ls He Has Suffered In Court
This also follows a previous legal loss the “Say It” crafter endured in court after unsuccessfully trying to avoid testifying in a related civil case.
Lanez was ordered to be deposed again in Megan Thee Stallion’s civil suit against gossip blogger Milagro Gramz (Milagro Cooper), whom she accused of spreading lies about the shooting and the trial while being paid by the Canadian artist.
Those who support Megan Thee Stallion and have no love for anyone who attacks Black women have been clowning Lanez on social media.
Welp, they can’t blame Roc Nation for this one. You can see more reactions below.
Apple / iPhone Air
Apple tried something different with the iPhone Air, and according to reports, the company’s latest smartphone flopped.
Spotted on MacRumors, via The Information, the ultra-thin and very light iPhone Air sold poorly. It did so badly that Apple is delaying the next version of the iPhone Air that was supposed to be announced alongside the iPhone 18.
The website notes there have been numerous reports of poor sales and cuts in manufacturing.
Per MacRumors:
Apple’s supply chain has scaled back shipments and production. Apple supplier Foxconn has reportedly dismantled all but one and a half of its production lines for the iPhone Air, and all production is expected to be stopped at the end of the month. Luxshare, another supplier, stopped production at the end of October.
The company Steve Jobs built was counting on the iPhone Air’s unique design to spark excitement among Apple smartphone enthusiasts.
It appears to have accomplished the exact opposite, and that could be due to many design choices.
Due to its very slim design, many compromises had to be made, such as a smaller battery and a single rear camera. Yet the smartphone still had a hefty $999 price tag, which was definitely a turnoff for Apple smartphone users.
It seems like Apple fans felt it didn’t make sense to buy the iPhone Air when they could get the iPhone 17 Pro for $1,099, which offers a better triple-camera system and longer battery life.
The iPhone Air Is Looking Like Another Flop For Apple
It’s looking like the iPhone Air will sit right next to the iPhone Mini, Apple’s other attempt at selling a fourth model alongside the iPhone and iPhone Pro models, as an apparent failure.
According to MacRumors, Apple is still pushing to drop its first foldable smartphone alongside the iPhone 18 and iPhone Pro 18 in 2026.
We will be interested to see how well the foldable sells for Apple.

ADAM GRAY / Donald Trump / Rudy Giuliani
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are currently complaining about Joe Biden’s alleged“abuse” of the autopen, but it’s all good that he continues to issue pardons to absolutely despicable people.
Late Sunday, Ed Martin, the pardon attorney in Donald Trump’s administration, released a list of 75 people who received pardons from Trump. On it, Rudy Giuliani is one of the names that stood out, along with other loyal MAGA folks who tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Deadline reports the pardons apply to “conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any state or state official, in connection with the 2020 presidential election, as well for conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraid and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election.”
Along with his right-hand man in corruption, Rudy Giuliani, other names on that list include: Sidney Powell, Boris Epshteyn, Mark Meadows, Christina Bobb, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, and Jenna Ellis.
A good number of the people on that list tried and failed to present a list of alternate electors to Congress in a heada** attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s electoral victory.
No one on the list was charged with federal crimes, but pardons would prevent future federal indictments.
The pardons do not cancel out charges brought at the state level.
Social media is not shocked, but still disgusted at Trump’s continued push of an outright lie, and letting every person who tried to subvert the results of the 2020 election and nullify former President Joe Biden’s victory.

French Montana / Max B
After spending nearly a decade behind bars, the Wave God, aka Max B, is finally a free man.
Harlem rapper Max B, born Charley Wingate, has finally been released from prison.
The emotional moment of him breathing in fresh air as a free man was captured by his Coke Wave collaborator and longtime friend, French Montana. It also happened to be the “Shot Caller” crafter’s birthday.
In a video post shared on Instagram, Montana wrote in the caption:
“CANT MAKE THIS UP ! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY B DAY ! HAMDULILLAH 🤲🏼WALKED IT DOWN ! NO MORE FREE YOU.”
Max Biggaveli was initially sentenced in 2009 to serve 75 years behind bars for his alleged role in a deadly botched robbery attempt.
Wavy Crockett’s conviction was vacated in 2016, and he struck a plea deal that reduced his charge to aggravated manslaughter and reduced his prison sentence.
The rapper has been giving hope to fans who wanted to see the wave free again, going as far as to hint at a possible release date during a phone interview on The Joe Budden Podcast.
“We got a date! I’ve got November 9, 2025, baby!” It looks like he was speaking the truth because that’s precisely when he stepped out of Northern State Prison.
Fans have been reacting to the good news as well. You can see those reactions below.
Noam Galai / Jeremy Renner
Hawkeye, aka Jeremy Renner, allegedly out here being a full creep and a racist? According to one Chinese filmmaker, that is 100% the case.
Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou, who claimed she has worked with the Marvel’s Avengers star on a documentary, Chronicles of Disney, and an animated film, accused the 54-year-old actor in a series of Instagram posts of sending her “a string of unwanted/unsolicited pornographic images of himself” in DMs and WhatsApp in June.
When Zhou confronted Renner about the alleged creepy behavior, he allegedly “threatened to call immigration/ICE” on her.
Jeremy Renner Denies The Allegations
PEOPLE reports that Renner is vehemently denying those claims through a statement from his attorney, Marty Singer, and accuses Zhou of essentially lashing out at him after a “brief consensual encounter,” ignoring her sexual advances, and not promoting her projects.
Per PEOPLE:
“The allegations are totally inaccurate and untrue,” a rep for Renner said.
In a statement to PEOPLE on Friday, Nov. 7, Renner’s attorney Marty Singer vehemently denied Zhou’s claims, calling them “false, outrageous, and highly defamatory.” Singer alleges Zhou is retaliating against Renner after the actor “rejected her romantic advances” and did not promote her projects on social media.
Singer claims Renner met Zhou once in July when they met at a hotel in Reno, Nev., where Renner was interviewed for Zhou’s documentary and says the two shared a “brief consensual encounter.” The two then met a second time in August, and Renner hasn’t spoken to her in over a month, Singer said, adding that the actor has ignored her alleged “sexually explicit messages expressing her love.” Her most recent message was allegedly sent on Oct. 24.
Addressing Zhou’s allegations that Renner threatened to call ICE on her, Singer alleges Zhou “had been relentlessly harassing and threatening my client with hundreds of unsolicited and unwanted messages.”
It’s going to be really interesting to see how Disney approaches this matter. The company has an extreme zero-tolerance policy and has let go of actors for less.
You can see what the social media streets are saying about Renner’s alleged behavior below.
