Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is now the subject of a grand jury looking into the shooting death of two men in July 2012, reports the Boston Globe.

Hernandez is already behind bars and pleaded not guilty to the execution-style murder of 27-year old Odin Lloyd and is being held without bail at Bristol County House of Correction in Massachusetts. He is due in Attleboro District Court on Wednesday for a probable cause hearing.

The investigation of the killing of two Cape Verdean immigrants is now in the grand jury's hands and it seems to be focused on Hernandez, the Globe reported. Investigators believe Hernandez drove Lloyd to an industrial park, then shot him because he was worried Lloyd had information about the South End double homicide and might talk.
