Update: This afternoon in court prosecutors described the killing of Odin Lloyd.
The former NFL player and two friends allegedly picked up Lloyd from his home at 2:30am on June 17. Surveillance footage from Hernandez’s home showed the 23-year-old leaving his residence with a gun and reportedly told someone at his house that he was upset and couldn’t trust anyone anymore.
According to the prosecutor, Hernandez and Lloyd got into a confrontation because Lloyd had spoken to some people that Hernandez had some trouble with. Later that night Lloyd texted his sister saying, “Did you see who I am with.” After his sister asked who, he responded at 3:23am texting, “NFL.” A minute later he added, “Just so you know.”
Sometime between 3:23am and 3:27am workers at the industrial complex where Lloyd’s body was found heard multiple gunshots. Investigators have not announced who they believe fired the shots.
