Former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez may be linked to more murders than he was charged with Wednesday, June 26th. According to TMZ, Boston police may be investigating Hernandez for a 2012 drive-by shooting that left 2 men dead.
A rep for the Suffolk County District Attorney confirmed that there was an "active investigation" into the case. When asked if the 23-year old football player was involved the rep wouldn't comment. However, one source close to the situation said, "It's safe to assume he is now involved."
TMZ also unearthed a photo of Hernandez throwing up gang signs. He is reportedly linked to the Bristol Bloods street gang in Connecticut. The photo was taken when Hernandez was 17.
The player reportedly has been in fear for his life in recent months and trying to separate himself from his old associates since he signed a $40 million contract last year with the Patriots. But according to TMZ his old homies felt like he owed them his time and respect.
As we previously reported. Hernandez was charged first degree murder in connection to the shooting death of 27-year old Olin Lloyd. He's also facing 5 additional gun related charges.
Odin Lloyd
Hernandez was just in court requesting bail. The judge in the case denied his request.

The woman involved in the alleged hit and run accident with Chris Brown says she was in fear because the singer "had a lot of tattoos."
Olga Gure-Kovalenko, the reigning Miss Russian L.A., told TMZ that she didn't recognize Brown and his body ink intimidated her.
"I was so afraid because he looked scary for me because it was a big car, he had a lot of tattoos, and I didn't know he was a celebrity. For me he looked kind of scary," Olga said.
She further added that her blood pressure shot up after Brown called her a b*tch. Olga also claims that Brown gave her expired insurance for a Lamborghini that he wasn't driving at the time and refused to give her his driver's license before he left the scene.
As we previously reported, Brown has been charged for driving without a valid license and hit and run in connection with the accident, which happened last month in Los Angeles. If it's determined that he violated his probation he could face up to four years in jail.

Science is a subject that can be boring at times to kids in school, but a pilot program in New York City has added rap to the mix and the results have been amazing.
In December 2012 a select group of NYC high schools took part in the program called Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S. with the goal of encouraging science education through hip hop competition. The schools selected had not traditionally done well in science in the past.
"What we are doing now is just showing what we know already exist," said Chris Emdin, assistant professor of science education at the college. "Bringing hip-hop culture into the classroom and changing the game of education."
The 10 schools currently participating in the program are Bronx Compass, Ellis Preparatory Academy, The Marie Curie School, Park East High School, Hillside Arts, Brooklyn Community Arts and Media, August Martin High, Validus Prep, Urban Assembly School for the Performing Arts and Arts and Media Prep.
"Everybody can relate to hip hop. Not a lot of people can relate to science. So when you put them together it just becomes something beautiful," said one student.
Wu Tang Clan emcee GZA is encouraged by the progress the students are making.
"These kids are taking science and they're writing creative raps and they incorporate. So, they're also teaching while learning," GZA explained.
Educators are hoping to expand the program to more schools in the future.
