NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was questioned by police investigating a possible homicide in this town 40 miles south of Boston. A source with knowledge of the investigation said Massachusetts State police spoke to Hernandez on Monday and were interested in possibly searching his home.

Hernandez is not believed to be a murder suspect, according to a source, but a vehicle rented in his name has emerged as a key piece of evidence in the investigation. The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro, Mass., reported on Tuesday that police identified a rented 2013 Chevrolet Suburban with Rhode Island license plates in connection with the possible homicide. According to the paper, the vehicle is registered to Enterprise and investigators were hoping to analyze it for fingerprints. A source said Hernandez's name is tied to that rental vehicle.

A jogger found the body of a 27-year-old Boston man on Monday in an North Attleboro clearing, less than a mile from Hernandez's home.

A North Attleboro police car idled in front of Hernandez's home on Tuesday, parked across the street from two television news vans. Yasmina Serdarevic, a spokesperson for the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, declined comment on Tuesday afternoon when contacted by SI.com.

A source close to Hernandez confirmed that the player had spoken with authorities in connection with case, but would not elaborate. Athletes First, Hernandez's agency, declined comment when contacted by SI.com. Hernandez has consulted with a lawyer, who did not return a call from SI.com.

A fourth-round pick in the 2010 draft, Hernandez was named to the Pro Bowl in his second season. Last season he caught 51 passes and scored five touchdowns for the Patriots.

June is a slow month for football. It hasn’t been a slow month for a certain football player’s lawyers.

According to TMZ, Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was sued last week in a Florida federal court for allegedly shooting someone in the face.

The lawsuit, filed by Alexander S. Bradley, claims that Hernandez shot Bradley on February 13, 2013 while the two men were riding in a car. Bradley allegedly lost his right eye as a result of the incident, along with other injuries.

Per TMZ, the case was dismissed only four days after it was filed. Since it’s highly unlikely that any action was taken on the case that quickly, there’s a chance the case was settled.

Hernandez would have been much smarter to settle the case before it was filed. Between the lawsuit and the investigation in Massachusetts, Hernandez is now more likely to attract the attention of the league office, which is more apt to apply the enforce the personal-conduct policy when a player is involved in multiple off-field incidents.

And this is exactly why you don't give someone a red ryder BB gun!

Maybe Gronk owes Hernandez money. That's the reason Gronk is always injured; Hernandez is collecting the "interest".

Interesting story. I can't wait until ESPN is on the case to determine how Tim Tebow may have been indirectly involved.

Aaron Hernandez was always a killer TE.

I hate when newspapers report that someone is "uncooperative" with police officers.

Cops view it as their jobs to hang something like this on someone so by God, they're going to find a murderer in a high-profile case...oh yes, they'll find a 'murderer' for damn sure.

If someone's murdered in my front yard while I'm in Japan, if officers come to my front door and I have my passport triple stamped and signed affidavits from 18 people as to my whereabouts when the murder was committed, I'd still tell them to go get a warrant and we'll talk.

By the time they get back I'll have lawyered up and absolutely everything they get from me will be compelled by a magistrate.

Why? Because you're going to have to prove cause to get it and it's going to be a hell of a lot harder to fit facts to your narrative beforehand that way.

Being 'cooperative' in a damn homicide investigation is stupid. If a cop ever shows up asking you about a murder, I don't care how innocent you are, you lawyer up immediately and you make sure that said lawyer is there for every question you answer, every search that's conducted and ever statement made to you. This is your freedom on the line - being flippant isn't a good idea.

Report: Hernandez thought to have gang affiliations

According to a SI.com report, NFL teams were scared away from the prospect of drafting Aaron Hernandez in 2010 because of connections he may have had with gang members in Connecticut.

From Sports Illustrated:
Hernandez fell to the fourth round of the 2010 draft in part because of marijuana use while with the Gators, something he admitted to NFL teams at the scouting combine when he was a draft prospect, according to several NFL sources.

Personnel sources from multiple NFL teams tell SI that they had off-field concerns about Hernandez. In particular, the questions pertained to alleged gang activity of some of Hernandez's associates in his native Bristol, Conn. A law enforcement official familiar with Hernandez reiterated concerns about his circle of influence.

Combined, the marijuana use and gang concerns worried some NFL teams immensely. "There were a lot of teams that had him off the board," said an NFL personnel executive.

Two of Hernandez's Patriots teammates, one former Patriot and one current Patriot, told SI that they believed Hernandez was seeking distance from past associates in his hometown.

"It was a thug life," is how one teammate described some of Hernandez's friends, according to SI.

According to Boston.com, Odin Lloyd's family says he had connections to Hernandez but hasn't elaborated.

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk should comment on stories traditional professional media produce that provide context and meaning about the news. Fact checking is an awesome online tool.

An excerpt from Boston Globe: Hernandez faces more legal issues

Hernandez was sued earlier this month in US District Court in Florida by a Connecticut man who claimed that Hernandez shot him in the eye after they attended Tootsies, a Miami strip club.

Attorneys for the man, Alexander S. Bradley, said in court papers that the incident took place Feb. 13, when Bradley and Hernandez were among a group of people who went to the nightspot together.

During the night, however, Bradley and Hernandez argued.

“Thereafter plaintiff [Bradley] and defendant [Hernandez] and two other persons were driving from Miami to Palm Beach, Fla.,’’ Bradley’s attorneys wrote in the suit. “Defendant had in his possession a gun. The gun discharged. The defendant caused the gun to go off while aiming it at the plaintiff.’’

The lawsuit, filed June 13, said that Hernandez does not have a license to carry a firearm.

According to the lawsuit, Bradley lost his right eye and has undergone multiple surgeries to repair his face. He is also now disfigured, has screws in his face to speed healing, has trouble eating, has become “substantially disabled” and will need medical care for the rest of his life, the lawsuit said.

Bradley withdrew the lawsuit on Monday due to an error in the text of the complaint, said his lawyer, David Jaroslawicz, in a Globe interview. He intends to re-file the complaint today, after making a minor correction to the extensive section of the lawsuit that describes Bradley’s alleged injuries from the gunshot.

Bradley’s attorneys have insisted that Bradley suffered more than $100,000 worth of damages.
