CANTON, Ohio -- The Pro Football Hall of Fame has removed a photo of former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez celebrating a touchdown from a display after several visitors complained about its presence.

Hernandez has been charged with the June 17 shooting death of Odin Lloyd, a story that has dominated headlines in recent weeks. The tight end has pled not guilty to one count of murder and five gun-related charges.

The 2010 photo of Hernandez scoring a TD was an award-winning image from the annual HOF photo contest. Hall officials removed it from a display earlier this week.

“In the spirit of good taste we thought we’d take it down,” said Joe Horrigan, the hall’s vice president of communication and exhibits.

The decision marks the latest move by the league and Patriots to distance themselves from Hernandez, who’s been released by the team and remains in custody without bail.

Last weekend, New England fans were allowed to exchange their “Hernandez” jerseys for another Patriots’ replica jersey at Gillette Stadium. More than 1,000 fans took advantage of the team’s offer.
