HERNANDEZ CASE New Pics Appear to Show Ex-NFL Star Holding Gun
Jul 26th 2013, 06:41

Newly released images from Aaron Hernandez's home surveillance system show the former New England Patriot holding what authorities say appears to be a gun, shortly after his friend was shot to death.

The images were released as part of a heavily redacted search warrant Thursday, and seem to show Hernandez carrying a gun inside his house

The photos taken from Hernandez's home surveillance system are contained in more than 100 pages of court records released Thursday.

MyFoxBoston.com reports that prosecutors first raised the surveillance images in a bail hearing on June 27, a day after the former Patriots tight end was charged with first degree murder in the death of Odin Lloyd.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the death of 27-year-old Lloyd, whose body was found June 17 near Hernandez's home.

Although the gun used in Lloyd's murder has not been found, prosecutors say that he was killed with a glock .45-caliber handgun.

An affidavit says the pictures show Hernandez in his basement holding a gun not long after Lloyd was killed. The type of gun Hernandez appeared to be holding was not specified.

The surveillance was cut off within minutes.

Other photos show what authorities say is Hernandez in his living room before Lloyd's killing also holding what they believe is a gun.

According to MyFoxBoston.com, the newly released 104-page warrant also sheds light on the initial statements that both Hernandez and his fiance gave to investigators about Lloyd's death. Investigators claim that on the morning the body was found, Hernandez was argumentative when they visited him, asking, "What's with all the questions?"

Prosecutors claim Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd's killing because he was upset with him for talking to people Hernandez had problems with at a nightclub a few days earlier.

They say Hernandez and two associates, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, drove with Lloyd to the North Attleborough industrial park, where Lloyd's body was later found. Authorities have not said who fired the shots, but documents filed in Florida -- and released since Hernandez's last court appearance -- paint the former Patriot as the triggerman.
