Aaron Hernandez is facing life in prison for the murder of Odin Lloyd and after his arraignment and bail hearing, more details have come out about the case, including that Lloyd was shot five times execution style, he was with the former Patriots tight end the night of the murder, the killing may have stemmed from a disagreement at the club and shell casings were found near the body.
Hernandez's fall is a swift and sudden one, although more attention on his past has shown that he had issues with fighting, possible gangs, drug issues as well as links to another shooting. After Hernandez was arrested and denied bail, reports came out that he could be tied to a separate murder of two men in Boston from last year. That report from the Boston Globe and ABC News also said that the killing of Lloyd may have happened because the victim knew information about that crime.
Hernandez and Lloyd have known each other for two years and his fiance Shayanna Jenkins' sister was dating Odin Lloyd and her name is Shanea, while there also is a third younger sibling. Hernandez and Jenkins have an eight-month-old baby together and lived in North Attleboro, which is the house where police searched and took evidence from after the body was found. Lloyd was located less than a mile from the home and police also searched a pond and wooded area nearby the mansion.
Hernandez had been awaiting word on his arrest for a week after the body was found and his name was linked to the crime and that came on Wednesday morning, as police did not give him the chance to turn himself in an executed an arrest warrant. He was found shirtless with red shorts and he was handcuffed while police put a white shirt over him. Hernandez later appeared in court and was denied bail and the Patriots released him after he was arrested despite taking a large cap hit from his $40 million contract.
Lawyer at the hearings presented information on evidence to keep Hernandez behind bars, including shell casings and a bubble gum purchase that tied him to the body. They revealed text messages, video surveillance and cell phone tower location details that could prove Hernandez was behind the killing, including a shot of him with a gun saying he can't trust people anymore. There is a chance that one or more persons is cooperating and that is how the police found out more information, but so far that is unclear. The authorities matched ammo from the body to ammo Hernandez had and another man named Carlos Ortiz was arrested at Hernandez's uncles house in Bristol in connection with the murder.
Hernandez was a star when he played in high school in Bristol and he set state records before committing to UConn and he later decided to go to Florida to play for the Gators. He won the best tight end award as a junior and played for a national title team with Tim Tebow before getting drafted by the Patriots. He had some character issues in college with drug tests and a fight and now an alleged shooting, but the Patriots felt he could change and that is why they gave him the contract.
