A gun has been found that police believe links Aaron Hernandez with an unsolved double murder that took place in 2012.
Safiro Furtado and Daniel Abreu were killed in a drive-by shooting on July 16, 2012 after fighting with a group that included Hernandez at a Boston night club. Police believe it was Odin Lloyd’s knowledge of Hernandez’s role in those murders that was the motive for his killing. Prosecutors are now pushing for charges against the former Pro Bowl tight end in that 2012 case.
According to Deadpsin:
Boston police eventually found the SUV they believe was used in the drive-by—it was located at the Bristol, Conn., home of Hernandez’s uncle, where Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz allegedly holed up after the murder of Lloyd. Now they’ve got the gun too.
The report seems detailed and substantial.
Via CBS 3 in Springfield, Mass.:
It all happened after a car crash on June 21 on Interstate 91 in Springfield. In a state police report, Jailene Diaz-Ramos of Bristol, CT was involved in an accident and taken to Baystate Medical Center. State police say they took inventory of her car and found a .38-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver in a black briefcase in the trunk. That gun was sent for ballistics testing, and around two weeks later, state police confirmed it was the weapon used in the killing of two men outside a Boston bar in 2012.

According to court documents, Diaz-Ramos told police the gun belonged to a friend she referred to as “Chicago”. She told police she drove Chicago and his friends to work, and that they are football players. She went on to say they wanted to leave the black briefcase in the trunk so they wouldn’t have to bring it into work.
…Doesn’t sound like a good day for the Hernandez party. Not surprisingly, it seems more convincing that Hernandez performed acts of evil none of us can ever possibly fathom, and the prosecution is about to prove it.
