Delanie Walker named in second lawsuit

Titans tight end Delanie Walker is facing another lawsuit.

Walker and former 49ers teammate Aldon Smith were named in a second lawsuit filed this week in California stemming from an incident that left one man shot and Smith stabbed.

According to NBC Bay area, an attorney for Aaron Reyes, who is a friend of Ronndale Esporles, the plaintiff in the first lawsuit filed earlier this week, has filed a civil lawsuit against Walker.

Both lawsuits stem from a 2012 house party Smith hosted at his San Jose home, and Walker attended.

Per the report, Reyes said, like Esporles, he received serious, catastrophic and permanent injuries after Walker and Smith allegedly fired weapons illegally on numerous occasions during the party, which sparked more gunfire.

In the lawsuit filed for Reyes, per NBC Bay Area, he claims Smith and Walker knew of gang members at the party who were armed with weapons on the premises.

On Wednesday, Walker said he was caught off-guard with the first lawsuit, and the timing.

“Most definitely I was shocked, to see something like that on national TV with my name put through the mud,’’ Walker said. “But I’m not focusing on that.

“At the moment I am just focusing on playing Pittsburgh, and get ready for this week. I can’t worry about something that happened a year-and-a-half ago. I am not focusing on it at all.”

The Titans signed Walker to a four-year, $17.5 million contract in March. He spent his first seven NFL seasons with the 49ers.
