It just went from bad to worse for New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez. After being considered a suspect in the murder of Odin Lloyd. There have been reports that Hernandez was directly tied to the murder after he was seen with the victim the night of the murder in a car with three other men. Only three of those men returned to Hernandez’s home that night and Lloyd was not one of them.

There are reports that the murder was drug related, but nothing is certain at this point.

All that we know is Hernandez is apparently a prime suspect and he could soon be taken in to police custody.
