Titans’ Jarius Snead Indicted Following Incident at Dealership

Surveillance footage captured Tennessee Titans cornerback Jarius Snead driving a Lamborghini Urus at a dealership and a gas station in suburban Dallas just moments before two individuals reported being shot at from the vehicle in December.

Snead, who is 28, was indicted by a Dallas County grand jury on Tuesday for failing to report a felony aggravated assault. This charge comes after his role in an incident from December 6, though specifics about the event remain unclear in the indictment.

The footage reveals Snead stepping out of the Lamborghini and using crutches to make his way past the men and into the dealership around 3:22 p.m.

An attorney named Levi McAthern, representing the victims in a civil lawsuit against Snead, released a video to The Associated Press showing Snead leaving within a minute.

Another cornerback from the Titans, currently on injured reserve, was also seen in separate footage at the gas station around the same time as the two victims, identified as Christian Nsimiyimana and Avi Ahmed.

Shortly after, Nsimiyimana and Ahmed stated in their lawsuit that they were shot while sitting in a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon at the dealership. The surveillance indicated that at 3:42 p.m., four loud pops were heard, followed by a car speeding past, with an arm protruding from the passenger side window.

A probable cause affidavit from Carrollton police, dated December 11, noted that Ahmed had asked an employee about two men he recognized, leading to Snead being identified. The dealership also provided Snead’s contact number.

Detectives corroborated Snead’s identity through surveillance footage from multiple locations, confirming he was the only individual seen entering and exiting the driver’s seat of the Lamborghini just minutes before the incident.

The affidavit stated, “It was apparent that Snead was the last person in the driver’s seat at the gas station about eight minutes before the shooting,” indicating potential awareness of the situation unfolding.

Moreover, the police report suggested that Snead’s rapid departure demonstrated an understanding of the circumstances as he assisted the shooter in escaping.

Nsimiyimana and Ahmed allege that Snead and another man, Tekonze Williams, were present in the Lamborghini during the shooting. Williams faces aggravated assault charges alongside Snead, though no legal representation for him was listed in the court records.

Mr. McAthern expressed satisfaction with the indictments against Snead and his associates, stating, “I hope this is the beginning of justice for my clients. As the video clearly shows, they are extremely lucky to have survived what Mr. Snead did.”

Snead’s attorney did not respond to a message from The Associated Press, and a representative for Snead declined to comment.

Fortunately, no one was struck by the bullets, but property damage occurred, hitting a Mercedes-Benz and a building in the vicinity. The lawsuit against Snead and Williams demands at least $1 million in damages.

The Titans released a statement acknowledging the “legal issue” involving Snead and stated they are in communication with NFL security, adhering to league protocols. However, they refrained from further comments.

Snead was placed on injured reserve last month due to a quadriceps injury and was seen in the Titans’ locker room on Thursday, though players on injured reserve typically do not address media inquiries.

This marks the second consecutive season Snead has landed on injured reserve. After being traded from Kansas City, he played in just five games during the 2024 season, despite being one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL.

Drafted in the fourth round in 2020 from Louisiana Tech, Snead’s recent troubles have brought significant attention.
