NFL star Aaron Hernandez is being investigated in connection with a July 2012 double-murder in Boston, a law enforcement source close to the investigation reportedly told CNN.
The source reportedly says the Boston Police Department has located and impounded a sliver SUV with Rhode Island plates that was placed at the scene of the murders. According to CNN, investigators now believe that Hernandez was renting the SUV at the time of the murders.
Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreau, 29, and Safiro Teixeira Furtado, 28, both of Dorchester, were killed when someone fired at the BMW they were in during the early morning hours of July 16, 2012 in Boston's South End. A third person was wounded.
The gunman reportedly fired the shots from a silver SUV with Rhode Island plates before fleeing the scene.
No arrests have been made in those murders.
The Boston Globe reports investigators believe the 2012 murders were a result of a fight that broke out at Cure, a nightclub in the South End, between the two men who were killed and a group that included Hernandez.
Suffolk County District Attorney spokesman Jake Wark told CBS Boston the case is "the subject of an open and active investigation," but offered no further comment.
According to the Globe, investigators now believe that Odin Lloyd may have had information about Hernandez's alleged role in the double-murder.
