Hernandez "orchestrated the execution," the prosecutor said...
Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-pro football player, had known Hernandez for about a year?the girlfriends of the two are sisters.
Lloyd was shot three times soon after getting out of the car, then two fatal shots were fired through his chest while he was lying on the ground.
Keys to a vehicle belonging to Hernandez were found on Lloyd.
.45 caliber shells from a semi-automatic weapon were recovered.
A warrant was issued to recover surveillance footage from the 14 cameras in and around Hernandez's house, but police discovered that
6-8 hours of footage, from around the time of the murder,
was missing.
They were able to discover text messages from Hernandez to the victim and the two other suspects on the night of the murder.
The prosecutor said authorities have tape of Hernandez, with a firearm, saying "
You can't trust anyone anymore" before driving to pick up Lloyd.
The prosecutor says the group stopped at a gas station to pick up "blue cotton candy Bubblicious gum and Black & Mild cigars, which are used as rolling papers for marijuana."
When the three?minus Lloyd?returned to Hernandez's house, surveillance
cameras showed someone carrying a gun into his house, down to the basement, and that's when cameras were shut off.
A
shell casing was found in the rental car after Hernandez returned it?and a piece of chewed blue bubble gum.

Lloyd's mother was led sobbing out of the courthouse mid-testimony. Hernandez's girlfriend left once the hearing ended, also in tears.
