Aaron Hernandez is currently in jail for the murder of Odin Lloyd, but before that he was also involved in another shooting in Florida involving a man named Alexander Bradley, who said he and the tight end were friends and that the former Patriots star left him to die.
According to USA Today, Bradley and his lawyer filed a civil complaint in a U.S. District Court in South Florida days before the body of Lloyd was found, alleging that Hernandez shot him and left him to die in an alley in Florida. According to the report, the two were partying in Miami at a strip club and afterwards Bradley claims that Hernandez shot him and left him alone and bleeding to die in an industrial park, about an hour north of the strip club, not much unlike the one where Lloyd was found.
Bradley's attorney David Jaroslawicz said that Hernandez left him there to die after shooting him in the arm and Bradley said that he lost use of one of his eyes due to his injuries. The case is not getting as much attention after the murder charges and they will also likely take a backseat if Hernandez is charged in a double murder in Boston in July from 2012. Hernandez is currently in jail on first degree murder charges after the body of Lloyd was found and now Bradley has implicated him in another crime.
Bradley did not cooperate with police at first and did not name Hernandez, but he decided to do so later one and now he is asking for more than $100,000 in damages due to the injuries sustained, including losing his right eye and dismissed use in his hand and arm. This is another problem for Hernandez as he awaits trial for murder and could be brought up as a pattern of bad behavior as the trial moves on later next year.
