Aaron Hernandez Killed Odin Lloyd to Cover Up Complicity In Two Other Murders?

Wow.

Former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez, already facing charges in a murder last week in North Attleborough, is also being investigated in connection with a July 2012 double murder in Boston, according to two law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation.

Investigators believe a fight broke out at Cure, a club in the South End, between two men and a group that included Hernandez.

...

[The men Hernandez had fought with] stopped at a traffic light on Shawmut Avenue, about to make a left onto Herald Street, when a silver or gray SUV with Rhode Island license plates pulled alongside the sedan. Someone from the SUV opened fire, killing Abreu, 29, and Furtado, 28.

The men who were with them survived the attack and the killings were left unsolved.

And speculation is that this is why Odin Lloyd was murdered -- and why Hernandez was concerned he was talking to the "wrong people." Perhaps friends of the previous victims?

Yesterday I suggested, based on my understanding, that Hernandez' concern about Lloyd talking to the "wrong people" was some kind of childish gang-mentality thing -- "Don't talk to people I'm feuding with," that kind of senseless gangbanger thing.

But it seems I was probably wrong. It looks like Hernandez wasn't just upset Lloyd was talking to people Hernandez didn't like. It looks like Hernandez was upset that Lloyd was breaking the first rule of Murder Club.
