Aaron Hernandez Dropped by "Puma" Gang Member and Double Murder

NFL star Aaron Hernandez' biggest sponsor PUMA has just dropped him like a hot potato.

A rep for PUMA tells TMZ, "PUMA has ended the relationship with athlete Aaron Hernandez in light of the current situation."

Hernandez signed the 2-year endorsement deal with PUMA in April 2013 as the face of its "training category." It's unclear how much the deal was worth ... but safe to say, a lot.

As we reported, Hernandez is currently in custody awaiting his murder trial. Hernandez was charged with 1st degree murder and 5 other gun-related charges in connection with the death of a 27-year-old former semi-pro football player named Odin Lloy

Bail Denied for NFL Aaron Hernandez with a Trial Not in the Near Future

NFL star and murder suspect Aaron Hernandez has just been denied bail ... meaning he'll rot behind bars until his trial ... and that could take forever.

Hernandez was present in court today for a bail review hearing, where his lawyer begged the judge to release Hernandez from custody while he awaits trial.

But the judge wasn't moved by his arguments -- that Hernandez is an upstanding citizen and family man with no flight risk -- claiming the prosecution already had very strong evidence that Hernandez had committed the crime.

As for the evidence ... the prosecutor went through the entire timeline leading up to the murder of Odin Lloyd earlier this month, including matching shell casings found at the murder scene and inside Hernandez' rental car. He also mentioned the photo TMZ posted last night -- showing Hernandez brandishing a glock in the mirror 4 years ago -- claiming it's possible the murder weapon was also a glock.

The prosecutor said they'd be seeking the max sentence for Hernandez ... life without parole.

Hernandez' fiancee -- who was also present in court -- was inconsolable when the judge issued her decision to keep the NFL star behind bars.

As we reported, Hernandez was remanded into custody yesterday following his arraignment and was ordered to be held WITHOUT bail.

Hernandez has been charged with murder in the death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd. He's also been hit with 5 gun-related charges.

NFL Patriots Aaron Hernandez Charged With Murder

Update 2:42 p.m.: Hernandez has been charged with murder. See more details below.

Original Post: NFL tight end Aaron Hernandez, who has been embroiled in a murder investigation for more than a week, was taken from his home in handcuffs this morning, leading to speculation he may soon be charged in the shooting death of a close "associate." Massachusetts State Police say the charges will be revealed when he appears in court later today.

Police have been surprisingly quiet about their findings in the case of Odin Lloyd, an associate of Hernandez's who was found dead near the New England Patriot's home on June 17. As recently as yesterday, they were insisting that no suspects had been named in the murder case and they even got a judge to seal all documents in the case. Yet police showed up at his house this morning, placed the 23-year-old in handcuffs, and took him away in a police cruiser. It appears he was not given a chance to surrender voluntarily.

According to various law enforcement leaks, Hernandez was allegedly with the victim on the night he was killed and possibly tampered with potential evidence before police could review it. There were multiple reports last week that he would be arrested for obstruction of justice, but that never came to pass. (Or it just did; but several days too late.)
