According to Boston.com, New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez, who was recently dropped from the New England Patriots, has been accused of executing his acquaintance Odin L. Lloyd. Hernandez was upset that the victim had spoke with people Hernandez “had troubles with,” a prosecutor alleged today.
In a dramatic hearing in Attleboro District Court, a Bristol County prosecutor said surveillance videos in Boston, in North Attlebrough, and even in Hernandez’s own home linked him to the slaying several days later of Lloyd.
Lloyd was shot five times in a North Attleborough industrial park, including once as he lay on the ground, raising his arm in a desperate attempt to save his own life, prosecutor William McCauley said.
The prosecutor said Hernandez, who was accompanied by two men, had the means, motive, and opportunity to kill Lloyd and had been the prime mover in the crime. “He orchestrated his execution,’’ McCauley, said.
The identity of Hernandez’s two confederates was not disclosed at Hernandez’s arraignment.
Hernandez also faces five illegal firearms charges.
