FALL RIVER — A man who has accused former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez of shooting him in the face testified today in his murder trial and said the former tight end kept a gun, marijuana and cash in a large box in his North Attleboro home.

Alexander Bradley, 32, who has filed a civil suit in Florida accusing Hernandez of shooting him in the face in 2013, said he spent a lot of time at Hernandez’s North Attleboro home and saw “a lock box — a safe” in the basement. There was “a firearm in the box … there was cash in there,” he said.

Prosecutors believe Hernandez kept the weapon used to murder former semipro footballer Odin Lloyd in the box. Authorities believe Hernandez instructed his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, to remove that box — in a trash bag — from their home after the June 17, 2013 murder.

During earlier testimony, Jenkins said Hernandez had told her to get rid of a big, black box, and she did what she could to hide what she was doing from people in her North Attleboro home.

The .45-caliber Glock that prosecutors believe was in the box has never been found.

Bradley — who was testifying under a grant of immunity — described seeing the box in the basement frequently and said there was a “silver-grayish” gun inside and “shaped like a semi-automatic pistol.”

Meanwhile, prosecutors have said the gun was black.

He added that there were blunts in the box as well.

Bradley indicated that he and Hernandez were particularly close in 2012. Hernandez wanted Bradley to be his daughter’s godfather, he said, and the two men had gone on vacation to Florida.

During one trip, Bradley said he and Hernandez met up “with some friends of Mr. Hernandez” at a West Palm Beach hotel. He said he saw one friend wielding a “Glock” that Hernandez later handled.

Bradley also said he remembers seeing Oscar Hernandez, who was known as “Papoo,” during that same Florida trip.

Prosecutors say Oscar Hernandez had guns shipped to Aaron Hernandez. Prior evidence showed that Aaron Hernandez wired $15,000 to Oscar Hernandez, and prosecutors believe that was partially for a gun transfer.

Bradley also recalled meeting co-defendants Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz on a few occasions. He also saw Odin Lloyd twice. The first time, in Hernandez’s kitchen, Lloyd walked by without acknowledging him.

Bradley said Hernandez came over and said “did you see how he walked through without saying ‘Hi’ … that was rude.”

Bradley indicated that Hernandez also had a hard time trusting people and he didn’t like people knowing his business. Jurors feverishly took notes as Bradley explained Hernandez’s trust issues.

Defense attorney Charles Rankin struck back at Bradley’s testimony, saying he did not tell the grand jury about Oscar Hernandez or the gun in the Florida hotel room. Rankin also pointed out that Bradley — during prior testimony — said he was not Hernandez’s weed dealer.

Bradley chalked that up to an error by the court stenographer.

When asked about his former friend’s drug habit, Bradley said he often saw Hernandez “chain-smoking” marijuana and said it was something he did “every day.”

Rankin also brought up a prior conviction and mentioned the fact that Bradley is awaiting trial in Connecticut on a number of charges.

Before the jury entered the room, assistant district attorney William McCauley asked Bradley questions so Garsh could analyze whether the jury could hear his answers. Garsh previously ruled that Bradley could not testify about his civil suit against Hernandez. She reasserted today that he could not mention “the shooting.”

Bradley says he got into an argument with Hernandez after leaving a Florida strip club in February 2013 and was shot between the eyes. He said Hernandez left him in an industrial park after the shooting.

Prosecutors believe Hernandez and co-defendants Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace drove Lloyd to an industrial park in North Attleboro and executed him.
