Hernandez not ruled out as suspect

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has not been ruled out as a suspect in the execution-style murder of a semi-pro football player, law enforcement sources told ABC News on Thursday.

Hernandez, 23, has been at the center of the investigation since the body of Odin Lloyd, 27, was found shot in the back of the head Monday in an industrial park near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, Mass.

Police say Lloyd was dating the sister of the mother of Hernandez's daughter. Meanwhile, a lawsuit has been refiled in Florida against Hernandez by a man the tight end allegedly shot in South Florida in February. The lawsuit contends Alexander S. Bradley was shot in the arm but the bullet traveled to his head, causing him to lose his right eye.

Video footage by a WCVB-TV chopper showed Hernandez traveling by car to Gillette Stadium on Thursday morning. He left the stadium shortly after noon, then was swarmed by reporters after he stopped at a gas station.

Lloyd's body was discovered in a clearing near John Dietsch Boulevard, not far from a vehicle that had been rented by Hernandez. Police have ruled Lloyd's death a homicide.

"It has been widely reported in the media that the state police have searched the home of our client, Aaron Hernandez, as part of an ongoing investigation. Out of respect for that process, neither we nor Aaron will have any comment about the substance of that investigation until it has come to a conclusion," attorney Michael Fee said in a statement.

Police are asking for the public's help in locating a silver mirror cover believed to have been broken off a vehicle and might be visible along a route of travel between Dorchester, where Lloyd was from, and North Attleborough.

The NFL is not commenting on the Hernandez situation at this point, a league official told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. But the NFL is monitoring developments, as it would in any matter of this nature.

Bradley, the man who claims he was shot by Hernandez after the two argued upon leaving a Miami nightclub in February, is represented by New York attorney David Jaroslawicz.

Asked whether he has a police report of the incident, Jaroslawicz declined to provide information. According to USA Today Sports, his client was in the hospital for weeks, and "I'm sure the police were there."

A spokesman for Miami-Dade police told USA Today that he was checking to see whether a report was filed.

A police report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff describes a shooting incident involving a man named Bradley on Feb. 13. The sheriff's office deemed the case inactive because Bradley refused to cooperate. Hernandez was not named in the report.

Who knew that RyanLeaf16 was a criminal defense lawyer for celebrities all these years.

Thanks for breaking down what we all already know, "Hernandez would be wise to keep his mouth shut."

You should do the same you smug prick.

 

:smug:

All I'm saying is, from a legal stand point, he is doing exactly as he should. As bad as it looks, not providing any statement leaves no ammunition for the prosecution. The burden of proof is on the state and he is, wisely, doing what he should be doing...and that is keeping his mouth shut. Plus, it is his right, once he is arrested/charged.

ABC News reports that Aaron Hernandez destroyed his home security system and cell phone.

Police are back at Hernandez's home Thursday with a warrant based on evidence that he destroyed the home security system, which included video surveillance, intentionally. Hernandez also handed over his cell phone to investigators, and it was "in pieces." Additionally, authorities want to know why a house-cleaning team was hired to "scrub" the 23-year-old's mansion on Monday. One police official says Hernandez isn't a suspect, but he "has not been ruled out" and is "definitely not in the clear." The tight end sure isn't painting a pretty picture by destroying what could be deemed as evidence.



Ummm... is it safe to say Aaron Hernandez killed a man?

Pretty sure destroying evidence isn't part of his lawyer's legal strategy. It's like he went out of his way to create probable cause with some of this stuff...

Smashed your cellphone? Good job genius. Not like the cell companies, or the fucking NSA for that matter, have digital copies of your activities anyway.

It's really shocking how dumb some of these celebrities are.

He could have easily hired someone to do this and taken a week off in Florida or something instead of being involved.

Sounds like this Patriot forgot to consider ... the Patriot act.

The victim was the brother of Hernandez's girlfriend, so the motive for this must be pretty interesting, whatever the hell it is.

Where did you hear that? Every article that I have read says the victim was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend/baby mama.

Read it yesterday, may have mis-read. Whatever the case there's a personal connection here, the victim seemed to trust the guys he got in the car with, interested to hear the whole story.

You would think someone who already had plenty of run ins with the law would have known better.

He seems like one of those guys who would buy drugs from an undercover cop but be sure to ask the dealer if he was a cop because "you have to tell me if you are or you can't arrest me."

Maybe getting away with shooting someone in the face makes you feel like Teflon though. :kanye:

If they've had plenty of run in's with the law, they aren't ever going to know better.

 

[Glenbino]

I'm not saying he stops being a criminal but he should be becoming a better criminal over time.

It's sad to see someone waste so much football and criminal potential all at the same time.
