Carlos Ortiz, a one-time friend of former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez, is due back in a Fall River courthouse on May 27 to be arraigned on a first-degree murder charge in the slaying of Dorchester resident Odin L. Lloyd last year. Ortiz, 28, initially only faced illegal gun charges from Bristol District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter’s office in the killing of Lloyd in North Attleborough last June. But last month, Sutter’s office obtained an indictment alleging that Ortiz was involved in the killing of Lloyd.
