FALL RIVER — A Connecticut man who says that former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez shot him in February testified before a Bristol grand jury Wednesday as part of the investigation into the slaying of Odin Lloyd.
It was not clear what Alexander Bradley said or how much time he spent testifying, as grand jury sessions are closed to the public.
At 4:25 p.m., after spending about seven hours inside the Fall River Trial Court building, Bradley hurried into the passenger’s seat of a gray Nissan Altima with Connecticut license plates and tinted windows, where a friend had waited for him throughout the morning and afternoon.
Hernandez has been charged with first-degree murder in the execution-style slaying of Lloyd, who was found shot to death June 17 in an industrial park near the house in North Attleborough where Hernandez lives. Hernandez has been held at the Bristol County Jail without bail since his arrest June 26.
As Bradley left the courthouse Wednesday, several Boston police detectives who had also been at the courthouse since the early morning spoke briefly with him.
Bradley, 31, was a friend of Hernandez’s and often ran errands for the former Patriots tight end. He filed a civil lawsuit in Florida against Hernandez last month, alleging that Hernandez shot him in the face Feb. 13, after the two had left a Miami strip club.
Bradley lost his right eye in the shooting and has subsequently undergone several surgeries.
In addition to the Lloyd case, Hernandez is being investigated in connection with the July 16, 2012, slayings of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado in Boston, law enforcement officials have said.
