BRISTOL, Conn. — The search for the weapon used to kill a semi-pro football player is focusing on whether former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez asked his girlfriend to get rid of the gun.
The Bristol Press (http://bit.ly/162jrxq) reports that search warrants suggest Hernandez may have instructed Shayanna Jenkins to take a gun safe or lock box out of his Massachusetts home, the day after the body of Odin (OH’-dihn) Lloyd was discovered.
The warrants claim Jenkins may have dumped the weapons in the woods in Massachusetts or may have taken them to a Connecticut storage unit in Bristol that Hernandez paid for. Police have searched the unit.
Jenkins didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.
Hernandez’s attorney didn’t return a call.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge.
