WBZ-TV reporter Lauren Leamanczyk is reporting that at least a dozen police officers have entered the home of New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez this evening in connection with a murder investigation.
ABC News reports that “Hernandez has been uncooperative with police since the body of a 27-year-old man was found in an industrial park not far from the Patriot player’s North Attleboro home.” The victim, found in a clearing Monday afternoon, has been described as an “associate” of Hernandez.

Herdandez has not been named as a suspect, but a source told Sports Illustrated that “a vehicle rented in his name has emerged as a key piece of evidence in the investigation.”
