Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed's car was shot up in Louisiana ... but cops say he was not inside of the ride at the time and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
The Minden Police Department tells TMZ Sports ... the gunfire went down at some point on Friday afternoon in Minden, where Sneed played high school football.
According to a department spokesperson, Sneed's Ford Bronco -- which the 25-year-old football player was not an occupant in at the time -- was hit by bullets ... and Sneed later showed up on the scene to check things out.
We're told Sneed and others were detained on the scene and questioned by officers, but ultimately, Sneed was not arrested and not charged with a crime ... and was let go.
Sources close to Sneed say two of his friends were driving the vehicle at the time ... and believe the shooting was random.
The spokesperson said cops are investigating the situation to find out who fired on the vehicle. No arrests have been made at this time, the spokesperson added.
We've reached out to the Chiefs for comment.
Sneed was picked in the fourth round by the Chiefs in the 2020 NFL Draft ... and quickly became one of K.C.'s best players.
In his two seasons with the team, he's started 21 games ... logging five interceptions, three sacks and 117 combined tackles.

Seems like he comes from about as rough a past as you can, but he has a good head on his shoulders. Hopefully he can stay above the fray. [Reply]
Glad he’s ok and had nothing to do with the incident. He’s spoken about the hood shit his family and ex friends have been involved with growing up and I’m glad he’s for the most part totally separated himself from those troubled people. Sneed seems like a humble guy, I’m really hoping he stays on the right path himself.
Maybe this is even more of a lesson to ENTIRELY remove himself from Louisiana and just call that a dead road, and those who wanna find him can get his info in better places [Reply]

Well, it’s not a total nothing issue when that part of town he’s from is super riddled with crime. Go there enough times and those jealous fools who are mad he made it will be trying to hunt him down again. [Reply]
