Aaron Hernandez is currently in jail, and won’t be getting out any time soon if ever, because he’s a suspect in the murder of Odin Lloyd. He may soon face legal trouble in the deaths of two other people in 2012 -- and police have recovered what they believe is a key piece of evidence that could tie Hernandez to that case.

According to CNN, the Boston Police Department has located and impounded a silver SUV with Rhode Island registration that police have been trying to find for almost a year in connection with the shooting deaths of two people in 2012. Investigators believe that Hernandez was renting the SUV at the time of those killings.

On July 16, 2012, police found three shooting victims on a Boston street corner. Two of those victims died. Only today was it publicly reported that police believe Hernandez may have been involved in that shooting.

Police reportedly suspect that Hernandez may have killed Lloyd to keep Lloyd from saying anything about that shooting.
