Titans’ L’Jarius Sneed Indicted for Not Reporting a Felony
The legal troubles for L’Jarius Sneed, cornerback for the Tennessee Titans, have escalated following his indictment on a misdemeanor charge. This charge stems from an incident in December 2024, where Sneed allegedly failed to report witnessing a felony.
L’Jarius Sneed Indicted for Not Reporting a Felony
Sneed’s indictment was announced on Tuesday in Dallas County, Texas. The misdemeanor involves failing to report a felony that he allegedly witnessed on December 6, 2024. At that time, Christian Nshimiyimana, a businessman, claims he was targeted while inside his Mercedes G-Wagon at a dealership in Carrollton, Texas.
Details of the Incident
Nshimiyimana alleges that Sneed, along with his personal assistant, arrived in a rented Lamborghini Urus and opened fire on him. The situation could have led to serious bodily injury or death, according to the allegations. As a result, Sneed faces a potential penalty of up to one year in county jail and/or a fine of up to $4,000.
Legal Repercussions
In addition to the indictment, Sneed is facing a lawsuit for $1 million filed by Nshimiyimana on February 20, 2025. This lawsuit characterizes the incident as an “unprovoked attack in cold blood and broad daylight.” The complaint suggests that Sneed and another individual may have mistaken Nshimiyimana for someone else.
Arrest and Current Status
After the incident, both Sneed and his assistant were arrested by the Carrollton Police Department on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Sneed has been with the Titans since being acquired in March 2024 and recently signed a four-year, $76 million contract.
