State and local police spent hours at the $1.3 million home of NFL tight end Aaron Hernandez of the New England Patriots on Tuesday night as another group of officers searched an industrial park about a mile away where a body was discovered the day before.

Police at the scene and prosecutors would not comment on the actions while Sports Illustrated, citing an unidentified source, reported that Hernandez was not believed to be a suspect in what was being treated as a possible homicide. Police had spoken with Hernandez, the magazine said.

Sports Illustrated reported that the link between Hernandez and the case was a rented Chevrolet Suburban with Rhode Island plates that police had been searching for. The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro, Mass., said the SUV was registered to "Enterprise" and investigators wanted to analyze it for fingerprints.

Not sure how much we can trust TMZ but this is interesting if true:

 

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was sued earlier this month for allegedly shooting a man in the face following an altercation at a Miami strip club ... TMZ has learned. 

The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Florida on June 13 -- five days before investigators searched the NFL star's Massachusetts home in connection with a homicide investigation that appears to be unrelated. 

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Hernandez and Alexander S. Bradley went to Tootsie's Cabaret in Miami on February 13, 2013 ... and during the outing, the two men got into an argument. 

Bradley claims ... After the dispute, both men left the club -- and got into the same car which was heading to Palm Beach. During the ride, Aaron allegedly aimed his weapon at Bradley ... and the gun discharged, striking Bradley in the face.   

Bradley claims he suffered major injuries from the gunshot ... including the loss of his right eye.

Must be more to that story or Hernandez would be locked up.  How can Burress get that much jail time for shooting himself in the leg and Hernandez go free for shooting someone in the face.  Has to be more going on there, even with the differing gun laws from NY to FL.

The latest reporting is that Hernandez "has not been ruled out as a suspect" in the case.  It was previously reported that he's been uncooperative with police investigating the homicide.  The murder victim, semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, was dating the sister of Hernandez' girlfriend.

  Seems to be varying reports as I read on yesterday that stated Hernandez was uncooperative with law enforcement officials, However, today's headlines indicate he was cooperative yesterday evening. The TMZ report is an interesting piece, if true, and would certainly make police more sketchy on his demeanor. What I found to really be damning (and mind you I'm going off reports here) is how police were on the property and two of Hernandez's friends tried to leave the property in the rental vehicle. That would certainly have given me enough probable cause to think Hernandez could have had something to do with the homicide.

Now it's sounding like a drug deal gone bad. We'll see.

  I don't belive that's the case here, Wakka. It actually sounds like something to do with Hernandez's girlfriends sister. Apparently, the links are there to suggest foul play. It's a little more than ironic that the victim was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend. And, if you are to believe TMZ's report, Hernandez has already displayed violent behavior as well as brandishing a firearm (he pointed his weapon at one individual and it discharged in the guy's face and the current victim was shot in the head). That's a little more than coincindence IMO.

  As of yet, nothing suggests drugs were involved. That's not to say I rule it out obviously, but the tones of this case seem to indicate otherwise. It'll definitely get interesting as the investigation goes on.

Here's my theory. Nothing concrete, but this is what it feels like to me. I don't think Hernandez killed the guy. I think Hernandez rented a car to do a drug deal. The victim was to conduct the transaction. Somewhere along the way the deal went bad. The drug dealer acted like a drug dealer and blasted the guy.

  In this day and age, anything is possible. Just doesn't have that vibe to me. Obviously, we are not privy to the intimate details that the authorities have in their possession. I think we can both agree that Hernandez is involved, whether directly or indirectly. Hence why he has not been ruled out as a suspect. I say we put Goodell on the case. :P

  Again, not saying you're wrong here. Drugs very well could be the underlying factor here. To me, it just has a different feel. It has that element of surprise to it that will have alot of people talking when all is said and done. As the investigation continues, I expect more information to leak out surrounding the crime. It should make for an interesting read.

So did the Bradley guy from the lawsuit know Hernandez? It's weird, because guys live in Connecticut and the incident took place in Miami. Also, of course, that he victim is refusing to cooperate with police to figure out who shot him.

Well how does this news effect Tebow?

Well when Gronk is on IR and Hernandez is in jail, they'll have a nice opening at TE for him.

Perhaps, but let's not forget, they still have Jake Ballard, who was pretty good in '11 if I remember correctly. Tebow, if he ever did start playing at TE, would likely only be for depth. After all, considering that he's never played TE before, he still has a lot to learn.

He is ****ed. 

 

Fox 25 in Hernandez report "He has not been ruled out as a suspect in the totality of this investigation." Also "directly tied" to homicide.

 


 

 

Fox 25 also reports that Hernandez has a sophisticated surveillance system and police trying to access the hard drive.

Yeah, from what is leaking out so far it seems that Hernandez, the victim and two other men left a bar in the car and that only three of them made it back to Hernandez's house. They also have forensic evidence that places a vehicle driven by Hernandez at the crime scene.

 

It's not looking good for Mr. Hernandez at this point. He obviously hasn't been charged with anything yet but pretty much every single thing leaking out just makes it seem worse and worse for him.

Things are getting worse by the news cycle for Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.

The latest development comes from Steve Silva of Boston.com, the man who courageously ran with a video camera toward the spot where a bomb was detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon in April.  Silva says via Twitter that he’s “hearing” from a law enforcement source Hernandez will be arrested in connection with the murder of Odin Lloyd.
