NFL star Aaron Hernandez charged with murder

23 year old New England Patriot tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested yesterday Wednesday June 26th  at his mansion in Massachusetts in connection with the murder of another player whose body was found near his home.

The body of 27 year old former semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd was found on June 17th in an industrial park a mile from Hernandez's house. Police say he had been shot multiple times in the groin, back and chest. Hernandez has since been remanded into custody without bail. Continue...


Prosecutors say there was communication between the Odin Lloyd (pictured above) and Hernandez just 10 hours before Odin's death. They say they have video showing Lloyd getting into Hernandez' car around that time. They also say Hernandez had been texting Lloyd.

The DA said keys were found in Lloyd's pocket to a car that had been rented by Hernandez.

Mr Lloyd's relatives said the two men were friends and both had been out together on the night Mr Lloyd died. In court on Wednesday, prosecutors said the killing arose from a dispute at a Boston nightclub on June 14.

They said Mr Lloyd was aware Hernandez was upset with him after being picked up by the NFL star in the early hours of June 17.

Prosecutors said Mr Lloyd sent a text to his sister saying: "Did you see who I am with."
When his sister asked who, Mr Lloyd responded: "NFL."

Within minutes of the text, people working overnight at the industrial park reported hearing gunshots, authorities said.



As for the motive, prosecutors believe Odin had said something recently to Hernandez that destroyed his trust. Lloyd is believed to have been dating the sister of Aaron's fiancee at the time of his murder.

In addition to murder, Hernandez has been charged with 1 count of carrying a gun without a license, 2 counts of possession of a large firearm, and 2 counts of firearm possession. He has pled not guilty.

Last summer, the Patriots gave Hernandez a five-year contract worth $40m.

    This is actually how to investigate. Nigerians have to learn from the white. We are 100 steps backwards. That's why we can't produce the killers of Bola ige, fushon williams, etc. That's why boko haram are on the increase. I still wish naija success.

    1. I love this concept. If the management can create a facebook page, like a campaign. It will go a long way with cheap and easy publicity it has and the money can be raise within a week.

  16. I don't really get the story, were the two of them bisexual? Or they were just hanging out? Nowadays, people just shoot other people because the hooted their car horn too much, so it's no biggie in America, they kuku have almost no gun control laws (yes there are laws, but just like everything else, pple will find a way to get round them when a few dollars exchange hands under the table). Sad really. Lives wasted for nothing

  23. "Pled" is correct. Widely used in American English. I guess we are used to "pleaded"

    That's his life over, career over, and everything over just because of a gun. Sad.
