The Aaron Hernandez story has gone well beyond the gruesome tale of a murderous former NFL player. His recent suicide brought to light a possible new motivation for the murder of Odin Lloyd, an acquaintance of Hernandez for whom Hernandez was convicted of murdering in 2013. According to a Newsweek report published Friday, Aaron Hernandez was bisexual, and Lloyd knew.

He was convicted in April 2015 for shooting and killing his friend, Odin Lloyd, seemingly without motive. But interviews with multiple law enforcement officials directly involved in the case say Lloyd—a semipro football player who was dating Hernandez’s fiance’s sister at the time—had information the football star did not want out: that he was bisexual.

Newsweek reported that Lloyd called Hernandez a “schmoocher,” which Hernandez and other acquaintances took as a gay slur. Ernest Wallace, an accomplice in the murder serving a prison term of no less than 4.5 years for accessory to murder in the slaying, was recorded, according to Newsweek, referring to Hernandez as a “limp-wrist,” another homophobic term.

According to Newsweek, Hernandez had a male lover outside of prison, a male former high school classmate, whom authorities interviewed extensively in regards to Lloyd’s murder, according to Newsweek. That unnamed man received a share of Hernandez’s money upon his arrest.
