AARON HERNANDEZ BABY MOM INDICTED

The fiancee of ex New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez ... along with Hernandez's cousin ... were indicted today .. in connection with the Odin Lloyd murder case.

According to the Bristol County, MA D.A.'s Office Shayanna Jenkins -- Aaron's fiancee and baby mama -- was hit with a single count of perjury. No further detail has been provided on her charge.

Tanya Singleton -- Aaron's cousin -- was charged with Conspiracy to Commit Accessory After the Fact. Translation: authorities believe she helped one of Aaron's alleged accomplices get outta dodge ... by buying him a bus ticket to Florida.

That guy, Ernest Wallace, was eventually arrested in FL, and charged with being an accessory to Lloyd's murder.

Singleton has already pled not guilty to a criminal contempt charge -- authorities say she refused to testify before the Grand Jury in the murder case.

Jenkins and Singleton were not arrested ... and they don't have a court date scheduled yet.

Jenkins faces up to 2-and-a-half years in a county jail if convicted on the perjury charge ... but sources close to the situation tell us she would likely only get six months to a year.  She could also be hit with a $1,000 fine.

If she goes to jail ... child services would have to make arrangements with Jenkins' family for the care of her child ... since both parents -- Hernandez and Jenkins -- would be behind bars.

Aaron's Finance, SHAY

Police have a theory as to why they think former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez killed Odin Lloyd he knew secrets that could destroy Aaron's relationship with his fiancée and the team.

There are several operating theories, but a prevailing one based on evidence they have already unearthed is that Lloyd "mouthed off" to Hernandez about "secrets" Hernandez had told him in the past.

As for what the nature of the secrets we're told they involve 2 issues: Aaron's involvement in drugs and Aaron's involvement in several violent incidents.

They do not believe Lloyd tried to extort Hernandez, ask for money in return for secrecy. The theory is that Hernandez went ballistic after Lloyd started throwing damaging information in Hernandez's face information Hernandez thought would end his relationship with his fiancée and his football career.         

Let’s meet 24-year-old Shayanna Janelle Jenkins, she happens to be girlfriend/fiancée of 23-year-old football player Aaron Hernandez. Jenkins man is a tight end for the New England Pats and the couple has been engaged as of November of 2012. Shayanna the eldest daughter of Jodi Jenkins from Bristol, CT has two sister Ontavia and Shaneah Jenkins who allegedly was dating Odin Lloyd, the man found shot to death close to Aaron and Shayanna’s home.      

That was also around the time when Shayanna “Shay” and Aaron welcomed their first baby and became parents to beautiful baby daughter, Avielle Janelle Hernandez, born on November 6, 2012! Which happens to be the same exact date of Aaron’s birthday. Parent and child sharing the same special day?! Isn’t that just the cutest thing? He even missed a game to be with his lovely girl and new bundle of joy!

 

 Although his bad boy look makes him seem like a gangster from a rap video; in fact fatherhood is just something very meaningful for the young dad! We know him for talent but Shay’s boyfriend also likes to keep his reflections and life lessons tattooed to his skin. If it is to be, it is up to me, reads a large tattoo on his left forearm, a favorite saying of his late father, Dennis. Hernandez gave an interview around the time his daughter was born and addressed how he thought his behavior had to change:

I’m sure Shay felt very proud of him right there hearing those words! Their story goes back to their high school years! Shayanna met the father of her daughter Aaron who is of Puerto Rican descent back in high school; they both graduated in 2007 from Bristol Central High School being high school sweethearts. She’s been there for him since his college football days while he played for the University of Florida.

This has to be so hard for Shay, new mom, new lifestyle, newly engaged, and now this. I am kind of trying to figure out what secret was so horrible that he felt he needed to kill to keep it away from Shay. I mean you gave up everything. I remember watching him play in the Super Bowl and I posted a picture of him on FaceBook asking who is this because he is sexy. I did not know he was so young, he has thrown his whole life away over a secret if this is true.
                                                                                 

REALLY...AARON HERNANDEZ

40 MILLION...AND THIS IS WHAT YOU DO

Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez is being investigated for possible involvement in a drive-by shooting that left two men dead in Boston last year, ABC News has learned.

Massachusetts State Police gathered at his home today to begin a new round of searching. Detectives declined to discuss their work as they waited for the green light to go in. When asked whether today's search was a continuation of the investigation into the Odin Lloyd killing for which Hernandez was arrested Wednesday, one detective told ABC News it was not.

""This is different," he said.

On July 15, 2012 a car was ambushed with a barrage of bullets at the corner of Shawmut Avenue and Herald Street in Boston's South End. According to a Boston Police report, when officers responded at 2 a.m. they "located three individuals suffering from what appeared to be gunshot wounds. Two of the victims were pronounced deceased on scene."

One of the dead men was found behind the wheel, cops reported. The other was in the front passenger seat. The third victim was treated at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. The slain men were later identified as Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu, 29, and Safiro Teixeira Furtado, 28, both of Dorchester, Mass.

Witnesses described to cops a grey SUV-style motor vehicle with Rhode Island plates seen fleeing the scene after the men were shot.

The drive-by shooting erupted hours after Hernandez was witnessed in a nightclub altercation, ABC News has learned.

Hernandez, charged Wednesday with murdering a friend in a dispute earlier this month, is scheduled to be back in court today when his attorneys argue he should be released on bail. His alleged involvement in the earlier shooting was described by four sources. Prosecutors say that shooting began with a dispute at a nightclub.

In between his early-morning arrest and his afternoon court appearance Wednesday, the Patriots released the star player.

 

Boston police declined to discuss Hernandez's role in the earlier shooting. Hernandez's attorney has not replied to a request for comment.

Hernandez spent the night in jail after being charged with first-degree murder and weapons offenses after prosecutors accused him of "orchestrating" the execution of Odin Lloyd, 27, a semi-pro football player from Boston.

A second man, Carlos Ortiz of Bristol, Conn., has been arrested in connection with the Lloyd killing but officials have so far refused to explain Ortiz's role.
