Texas Man Files $1 Million Lawsuit Against Titans Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, Alleging Gunfire Incident at Car Dealership Involving NFL Star or His Assistant
Dallas, TX – April 12, 2025 — A Texas man has filed a civil lawsuit seeking at least $1 million in damages against Tennessee Titans cornerback and two-time Super Bowl champion L’Jarius Sneed, alleging the NFL star or his personal assistant fired gunshots at him during a disturbing incident that unfolded at a car dealership late last year.
According to the lawsuit, the plaintiff — whose identity is being withheld for safety reasons — claims the shooting occurred in December 2024 while he was seated inside a Mercedes-Benz on a dealership lot in the Dallas area. The suit accuses either Sneed himself or someone closely associated with him, namely his personal assistant, of pulling a gun and opening fire at the vehicle he was in.
The plaintiff was reportedly at the dealership inspecting the high-end vehicle when the incident occurred. According to court filings, gunshots were fired in his direction without warning, striking the vehicle and narrowly missing him. The lawsuit claims that the shooter then fled the scene, and the incident was immediately reported to law enforcement.
“The attack was unprovoked and terrifying,” the lawsuit states. “The plaintiff feared for his life and continues to suffer emotional distress, anxiety, and trauma following the incident.”
The civil suit, filed in a Texas district court, demands over $1 million in compensation for physical and emotional damages, property loss, medical treatment, and psychological counseling. The plaintiff’s legal team has also requested that the court investigate Sneed’s potential criminal liability in the matter.
While no criminal charges have yet been publicly filed against Sneed or anyone in his inner circle, the allegations have drawn considerable media attention, especially in light of Sneed’s status as an NFL star with two Super Bowl rings and a recent signing with the Tennessee Titans.
Sneed, 27, who previously played for the Kansas City Chiefs and was traded to the Titans in the offseason, has not publicly responded to the lawsuit. His attorneys have issued a brief statement denying any wrongdoing, stating: “Mr. Sneed is aware of the lawsuit and unequivocally denies the allegations. We are confident that the truth will prevail as the facts come to light.”
The dealership where the alleged shooting took place has not commented, citing the ongoing legal process. Police records regarding any reports or investigations on the incident have not yet been released, but sources close to the matter say law enforcement did respond to a call from the location on the date in question.
As the legal battle unfolds, the NFL has said it is monitoring the situation but has made no statement regarding potential disciplinary actions against Sneed.
For now, the case continues to develop, and both fans and legal observers await more information about what exactly happened that day in December — and whether a rising NFL star could be held accountable for an act of alleged violence far from the football field.
