The Aaron Hernandez’s case is getting more and more complex. Police say a third man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Odin Lloyd.

Law enforcement officials have also confirmed that Hernandez is being investigated in relation to a double homicide in 2012. The disgraced NFL player has been charged with Lloyd’s murder.

Now a third man is in custody in Florida in the expanding murder investigation surrounding Aaron Hernandez, the NFL tight end who is accused of being the mastermind in the shooting death of the semi-pro player.

Sources tell NBC that Hernandez is being investigated in a drive-by shooting which took place in Boston last year and killed two men in their SUV after they left a night club.
