An arrest warrant has been issued for New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez in connection with the shooting death Monday of a Massachusetts man, according to a Boston radio report.
Citing an unnamed law enforcement source, WBZ NewsRadio reported Friday that Hernandez faces a charge of obstruction of justice and that there’s a possibility that count could eventually be upgraded.
The station said it is not clear when and where Hernandez will be arrested.
The body of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd of Dorchester, Mass., was discovered Monday in an industrial park in North Attleborough, less than a mile from Hernandez’s home. WBZ reported that Lloyd had been shot in the head, but an unnamed law enforcement official told the Boston Globe that he had been shot “multiple times.”
ABC News reported Thursday that a video surveillance system in Hernandez’s home was intentionally smashed, and that a cellphone used by him was handed over to investigators “in pieces.” Also, a crew cleaned the player’s home Monday.
The Boston Globe reported Friday that video images taken early Monday morning appear to show Hernandez and Lloyd together on Fayston Street in Boston, and that a second video shows Hernandez later that morning in North Attleborough.
The newspaper, citing an unnamed law enforcement official, said Hernandez is not cooperating with police.
