An arrest warrant has been issued for New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez on a charge of obstruction of justice. The tight end will be charged in connection of the shooting death of a 27-year-old man, Odin Lloyd, according to WBZ NewsRadio 1030.

At this point, it’s not clear when and where Hernandez will be arrested. It’s believed that State Police will be responsible for it, and there is still the chance that Hernandez’s charges could be upgraded.

Lloyd’s body had been found in a field roughly half-a-mile from Hernandez’s home on Monday. Lloyd – who was found shot in the head – was driving an SUV that had been rented in the name of Hernandez and was dating a woman who is the sister of the tight end’s fiancé.

In a separate case, a lawsuit has been filed alleging that Hernandez shot a man in the face when his unlicensed gun discharged during an altercation.

There’s certainly more to come regarding both cases, but either way this isn’t good news for Hernandez and the Patriots. His legal issues make the team even thinner at the tight end position, as Rob Gronkowski is already recovering from forearm and back surgery.
