Documents: Searches in former Patriots tight end Hernandez’s hometown turned up ammunition

ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Police searches in Connecticut last month turned up ammunition, a gun box and documents tied to the two co-defendants of former new England Patriot tight end Aaron Hernandez.

A judge has unsealed three of four search warrants from the investigation into the death of Odin Lloyd.

The warrants were used to search Hernandez’s uncle’s home, an apartment and a rental car police say was used by co-defendants Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz the day after the shooting.

The items seized from the home include Correction Department documents linked to Ortiz and Wallace, a plastic gun box and two boxes of .38-calibre ammunition.

Police say Lloyd was killed with a .45-calibre gun.
