Text Messages Discovered

After the body of Lloyd was discovered, a cell phone found on the body was recovered by police. Investigators searched the phone at the police station and found text messages to Hernandez’s number.

While Hernandez’s phone was still on him, an investigator called the number believed to be Hernandez’s to confirm that is was his phone. Hernandez was seen picking up and answering his phone. The investigator then hung up without saying a word.

On June 17 at 12:22 a.m., Lloyd wrote a text message to Hernandez that said, “We still on,” implying that prior plans were made between the two.

Between 1 and 2 a.m. on June 17, Lloyd’s sister, Shaquilla Thibou saw Lloyd get into a silver-color sedan at 10 Fayston Street in Dorchester.

While on a break from his job on John Dietsh Boulevard, a worker in the North Attleboro industrial park said he heard three gunshots and a car door slamming while he was sitting in his car taking a break between 3 and 3:30 a.m. The place of employment was about 200 yards away from the crime scene.

A Damaged Altima and Video Evidence

After returning the car, the manager said that Hernandez rented a grey Chrysler 300C.

Later that day, investigators executed a search warrant for Hernandez's home at 22 Ronald C. Meyer Drive in North Attleboro. During the search, digital video evidence was seized from the home surveillance system attached to 14 cameras around the residence.
