An arrest warrant has been issued for Aaron Hernandez of the New England Patiots. Massachusetts State Police have been investigating Hernandez to see if he had any involvement in the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, 27, who was Hernandez's friend.

The investigation picked up when it was discovered that Hernandez's home security system, which included video surveillance had been intentionally destroyed. His cell phone was also handed over to police in pieces.

Henandez hired a team of housekeepers to clean his home the day after Lloyd's death.

This morning Boston's local CBS station is reporting that the 23-year old player will be arrested on obstruction of justice charges. Those charges could be upgraded.

Lloyd's body was found Monday in a field in North Attleboro, about half-a-mile from Hernandez’s home. He had been shot in the head.

Surveillance videos from nightclubs and in the area of Hernandez's home show Hernandez, Lloyd and two other men together in the hours before Lloyd's death. Police say Hernandez has not been cooperative.

Hernandez is also being sued by a Miami man who claims the player shot him in the face after an argument at Tootsie's strip club.
