Green also faces additional charges of assault and criminal possession of a weapon, police said. It was unclear whether Green had an attorney.
Boyd was shot and killed in the early morning hours of November 16 outside a restaurant in Midtown Manhattan. The shooter fled. The shooting happened after Boyd, his friend and two other Jets players, Irvin Charles and Jamien Sherwood, left the scene, police said.

The group was approached by other men who made fun of their clothing, police told reporters at a news briefing. A fight eventually broke out between the men and Boyd was shot, police said. Boyd and his friends were unarmed.
The NFL player was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He spent days in the hospital before apparently being discharged and returning to treat more complex health issues related to the injury.
