BOSTON — Former New England Patriots player and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez is facing another criminal charge: witness intimidation.

Hernandez was convicted last month of killing a man in June 2013. He also faces two counts of murder in Boston, where he is accused of gunning down two men in 2012 after one caused him to spill his drink at a nightclub.

The Suffolk County district attorney’s office said Monday that a grand jury indicted Hernandez on Friday. It says Hernandez shot a witness to the Boston killings on Feb. 13, 2013, after the witness made a remark about the killings.

The district attorney’s office did not identify the witness, but Alexander Bradley, a former Hernandez friend, has sued Hernandez, saying he shot him on that date in Florida.

Hernandez’s lawyers didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment.
