An associate of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez says he was told Hernandez fired the shots that resulted in the death of a semi-pro football player, according to documents filed in Florida. The records, obtained by The Associated Press, also show a vehicle wanted in a double killing in Boston a year before had been rented in Hernandez’s name. According to the records, Hernandez associate Carlos Ortiz told Massachusetts investigators that another man, Ernest Wallace, said Hernandez shot Odin Lloyd in an industrial park near Hernandez’s home. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in Lloyd’s killing. Wallace faces an accessory to murder charge and has pleaded not guilty. The documents were filed in court by the Miramar, Fla., police department to justify a search of Wallace’s mother’s home there.

Bryan City Council Tables Rezoning Request For A Residential/Retail Development Near The RELLIS Campus
The Bryan city council is considering a developer’s proposal to build what would be the first residential and retail project near the RELLIS campus. The proposal calls for retail along Highway 21. Behind that would be multi-family housing. And behind that would be single family homes. The council at January’s meeting tabled a rezoning request for up to 90 days. Jared Salvato, who made the motion that was unanimously approved, said he could not make an educated decision about the proposed master planned community due the lack of details in writing. Mayor Bobby Gutierrez asked the developer for something similar to what was done by developers of east Bryan’s Oakmont community. Salvato, Gutierrez, and councilwoman Marca Ewers-Shurtleff were among those bringing up that this is the first development of its kind in the RELLIS area, and the council wanted to set the standard that will be followed by others.
