Aaron Hernandez Charged for Shooting in Connection to Double Homicide Case

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd, is now facing a new charge in relation to a double homicide case.

According to Scott Isaacs of WCVB-TV in Boston on Monday, the 25-year-old former University of Florida standout has been charged with witness intimidation for the alleged shooting of Alexander Bradley:

Per Michael McCann of Sports Illustrated, a conviction could carry up to 10 years in prison although Hernandez is already serving a life sentence for the murder of Lloyd:

According to WCVB.com and ESPN's Michele Steele, it is alleged that Hernandez shot Bradley in February 2013 after Bradley made mention of the 2012 murders of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado:

Prosecutors indicted Hernandez last year in the shooting deaths of Abreu and Furtado. A trial is forthcoming although no official date has been set. According to Steele, the status hearing for the trial will be on May 21 in Boston.
