DOUBLE TROUBLE? Report: Hernandez Focus Of Probe Into 2012 Killings Jul 24th 2013, 11:35 Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is reportedly the focus of a case being presented to a Massachusetts grand jury involving a 2012 double homicide in downtown Boston. MyFoxBoston.com, citing an unnamed law enforcement official, reported that prosecutors are presenting evidence in the double-murder case to a Suffolk County Grand Jury. Two men died in the shooting in Boston's South End on July 15, 2012, and another was wounded. Witnesses reported seeing gunfire coming from a gray SUV with Rhode Island license plates.  Authorities said 29-year-old Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and 28-year-old Safiro Teixeira Furtado were killed, but police didn't identify the third victim. The official told MyFoxBoston.com that investigators believe Hernandez and the shooting victims were at the same Boston night club before the fatal altercation. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in the shooting death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, whose body was found June 17 not far from Hernandez's North Attleborough, Mass., mansion. His defense team has called the case circumstantial and said Hernandez looks forward to clearing his name. A prosecutor with the Bristol County district attorney's office has said that a man who matched the description of a man seen on video with Hernandez on the night of Lloyd's murder was seen putting a gun under a car during the Rhode Island incident. Boston police made a connection between Hernandez and the 2012 double murder after the former NFL star came under scrutiny in Lloyd's killing, The Boston Globe reported. An attorney for Hernandez did not return the newspaper's emails or messages requesting comment on the grand jury report. Boston police declined to comment to the Globe on the report. A spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, who is overseeing the investigation, also declined to comment. "The grand jury proceedings are by their nature confidential, and we do not comment on them or on open investigations," Jake Wark, Conley's spokesman told the newspaper Hernandez is due back in court Wednesday for a probable cause hearing. He is being held without bail at Bristol County House of Corrections. Click here for more from MyFoxBoston.com. Click here for more from The Boston Globe.
