Chiefs' L'Jarius Sneed's car damaged in shooting, but police say CB not involved

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed seems to have avoided a stressful and dangerous situation. 

TMZ Sports reports that Sneed's Ford Bronco was "shot up" in Minden, Louisiana, where he played football in high school, earlier on Friday afternoon. Sneed was not inside of the vehicle, but TMZ notes that two of his friends were in the Bronco at the time of the incident. Nobody was injured as a result of the shooting. 

Sneed and others were initially detained and questioned, but the 25-year-old was not charged with any wrongdoing and has since been let go. It's currently thought the shooting was a random act of violence. 

"A random and unnecessary act of violence occurred while Mr. Sneed was visiting his hometown," Saffarah Lawson, Sneed’s agent, said in a statement shared by Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. "No one was injured, but gunshots damaged his vehicle. He was briefly questioned and released without incident. There is a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible." 

Additionally, the Chiefs said through a spokesperson the team is aware of the news and is gathering information. The club hadn't yet offered a comment to TMZ as of late Friday afternoon. 

The Chiefs selected Sneed in the fourth round of the 2020 draft. He's thus far played in 24 regular-season games, with 21 starts, and tallied 117 total tackles, five interceptions, three sacks, one fumble recovery and a forced fumble.
