Aaron Hernandez was convicted of murdering Odin Lloyd , and he was also tried (and later acquitted) in connection with the earlier killings of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in Boston.

Quick Scoop: Who did Aaron Hernandez kill?

  • Hernandez was found guilty of first-degree murder for the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, a semi‑professional football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée.
  • Lloyd was discovered shot multiple times in an industrial park near Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough, Massachusetts.
  • This conviction carried a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole under Massachusetts law.

Hernandez was also charged in a separate case with the 2012 shooting deaths of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado, who were killed in a drive‑by style attack after an encounter in a Boston nightclub.

  • Prosecutors argued that Hernandez opened fire on their car at a stoplight following a dispute over a spilled drink.
  • In that double‑murder case, however, he was ultimately acquitted of the homicide charges, though the allegations remain part of the broader public discussion of “how many people did he kill.”
