Multiple media outlets reported that a warrant for Aaron Hernandez's arrest was been issued early Friday morning, but those reports may have been premature.

A Massachusetts State Police spokesman told MassLive.com that they were unaware of a warrant if the Bristol County District Attorney's office had issued one. The Attleboro District Court also said that no warrant has been issued.

WBZ reported that a warrant for obstruction of justice was issued early Friday morning. ABC News corroborated the report and said the decision came after police discovered that Hernandez's cellphone and home security system had been destroyed, according to ABC News.

Hernandez left his home yesterday at 11 a.m. and made stops at Gillette Stadium and at his lawyer's office. The Patriots reportedly told Hernandez

he was no longer welcome at team

facilities. When he left his lawyer's office, he left his car behind and has not been seen returning home.

Hernandez appeared to remain away from the home until returning Friday with his lawyer around 4:45 p.m.

State police have been investigating Hernandez for his part in the homicide of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old Dorchester man who was found dead in an industrial park less than a mile from Hernandez's residence.

Lloyd played semi-professional football for the Boston Bandits and was believed to date the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend, Shayanna Jenkins.

Details around the case had been scarce until Wednesday night when Boston news station Fox 25 reported that police found evidence that directly ties Hernandez to the homicide.

According to the report, Hernandez, Lloyd and two other men were at a Boston bar the night of the homicide and the four men were seen leaving together. But when the car returned to Hernandez's home only three men were inside. Lloyd was not one of them. Police uncovered a text sent by Lloyd that puts Hernandez behind the wheel of the car.

Police have also found forensic evidence that places the vehicle driven by Hernandez at the scene of the crime. It is not yet clear where that scene is, though Lloyd's body was found in a nearby industrial park.

The police's interest in Hernandez first became public when more than a dozen troopers arrived at his home Tuesday evening to execute a search warrant. Officers entered his home a little after 7 p.m. and remained inside for more than two hours. The only item taken from the house appeared to be a small cardboard box.

Two of Hernandez's associates tried to leave the home when the officers arrived but were taken in and questioned by police.

As police searched the house, other officers worked the area where the body was found.

Police returned Wednesday morning to visit Hernandez but left after no one answered the door. Police searched a wooded area next to a road near Hernandez's residence, where a gun, which was not used to kill Lloyd, was found. The group of officers, which numbered at least eight, then searched the yards of nearby neighbors.

Hernandez returned home Wednesday afternoon in a silver Nissan Juke with the license plate "HERNDZ" driven by a woman. He did not speak to a group of reporters staked out across the street and later issued a statement through his lawyer, Michael Fee, saying he would not comment on the ongoing investigation.

Hernandez's agency, Athletes First, also refused when asked for comment. The Patriots, through spokesman Stacey James, said the team would have no comment until the investigation concluded.

On Thursday, the Patriots said they had no idea why Hernandez visited team facilities earlier in the day and that the coaching staff and owners were not in the building.

The Patriots drafted Hernandez in the fourth round of the 2010 draft. He played in 10 games last year and caught 51 passes for 483 yards with five touchdowns.

He is currently recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and is expected to play a considerable role in New England's offense in 2013.
