The murder case allegedly involving New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez that has capitivated the nation over the course of the last few days just took a whole new turn.

If reports are to be believed, Hernandez is going to be arrested in connection with the murder.

The report comes from Senior Sports Producer Steve Silva of Boston.com via Twitter:

Well there you have it. Late last night we reported police had found evidence Hernandez was the driver of the vehicle in question and that four men went out, but only Hernandez and two others allegedly came back home.

There’s still a lot of info to sift through in regards to this case and we’re far, far away from the outcome of this whole fiasco. However, this is a step in the process that seemed a bit obvious after the developments late last night.
