Kansas City Chiefs CB L’Jarius Sneed’s car was shot up while he was visiting his hometown of Minden, Louisiana.
TMZ Sports reports that Sneed’s Ford Bronco was vandalized in a hail of gunfire that occurred Friday afternoon in Minden. According to TMZ’s report, the belief is that the shooting was random. No one was in the car at the time of the shooting and no one was hurt in the incident. They also say that Sneed said two of his friends had recently been driving his car.
Sneed’s agent released the following statement:
“A random and unnecessary act of violence occurred while Mr. Sneed was visiting his home town. No one was injured, but gunshots damaged his vehicle. He was briefly questioned and released without incident.”
They’re currently offering a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest or conviction of those responsible for the shooting.
