A charge has been dropped against free agent cornerback L’Jarius Sneed in connection with a 2024 shooting at a Dallas-area car dealership.

Attorney Michael J. Todd made the announcement about his client on Tuesday, and Sneed posted on social media that the “weight is finally off.”

Sneed originally was charged with aggravated assault in the alleged incident on Dec. 6, 2024. The charge was reduced to a misdemeanor for failing to report a felony, punishable by a year in county jail or a fine up to $4,000.

The owner of a dealership in Carrollton, Texas, claims in a $1 million lawsuit that he was sitting in his vehicle when Sneed and another man drove in and shot at him. The lawsuit is still pending, according to ESPN.

The Tennessee Titans released Sneed in March, saving $11.4 million against the salary cap in 2026 and $16.4 million in 2027.

Sneed, 29, never provided the impact for which the Titans were looking after he helped the Kansas City Chiefs win consecutive Super Bowls in the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

He played in just 12 games (all starts) over two seasons because of quadriceps injuries after he was acquired from the Chiefs in March 2024. He recorded 26 tackles and three pass breakups in seven games in 2025.

Sneed totaled 352 tackles, 10 interceptions and 6.5 sacks in 69 career games (66 starts) with the Chiefs and Titans. He was selected by Kansas City in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Louisiana Tech.
