CARROLLTON, Texas - A Texas man claims Tennessee Titans cornerback L'Jarius Sneed or his personal assistant shot at him while he sat at a Carrollton car dealership.

L'Jarius Sneed shooting accusation

What we know:

In the lawsuit, filed on Feb. 20, Nshimiyimamana claims he was sitting inside a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon at One Legacy Motors on Dec. 6 when several shots were fired from a Lamborghini Urus driving past.

The bullets hit the SUV, but no one was injured.

The lawsuit claims that Sneed rented the Lamborghini and had never met Nshimiyimamana.

In a statement to the Associated Press, Nshimiyimamana's attorney Levi McCathern said Sneed and an accomplice were arrested by the Carrollton Police Department for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

McCathern also said that Sneed and a woman, who claimed to be Sneed's mother, called and threatened Nshimiyimamana after the shooting, demanding he not cooperate with police or hire an attorney.

What they're saying:

"The proof is there," McCathern told the Associated Press. "There is video surveillance from the dealership showing the car and the person who opened fire on Christian. We want to know why this happened. We're thankful no one was shot, but we continue to search for the reason behind this incident."
