Aaron Josef Hernandez (November 6, 1989 – April 19, 2017) was an American football tight end in the National Football League (NFL), playing
three seasons with the New England Patriots.
The murder of Odin Lloyd occurred on June 17, 2013, in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. Prior to his death, Lloyd had been a linebacker for a New England Football League (NEFL) semi-professional football team the Boston Bandits.
Hernandez was arrested on June 26, 2013, nine days after Lloyd's death, and charged with the murder. Police also arrested two other men in connection with Lloyd's death: Carlos Ortiz on June 27, 2013, and Ernest Wallace on June 28, 2013. Prosecutors say both men were with Hernandez when they drove to the location of the murder. On August 22, 2013, Hernandez was indicted by a grand jury for the murder of Odin Lloyd. Nearly eight months later, Ortiz and Wallace were also indicted for the murder.
On April 15, 2015, Hernandez was found guilty of first-degree murder, as well as five weapon charges, which required a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Wallace and Ortiz were found guilty of accessory after the fact. They both received sentences of 4½ to 7 years in prison.
On April 19, 2017, at 3:05 a.m. EDT, five days after Hernandez was acquitted of the 2012 Boston double homicide of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado, correction officers found Hernandez hanging by his bedsheets from his window in his cell at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Lancaster, Massachusetts. He was transported to UMass Memorial Hospital-Leominster, where he was pronounced dead at 4:07 am.
