Was Aaron Hernandez Involved In ANOTHER Double Shooting?

Now Florida and Massachusetts authorities are working together to see if Aaron Hernandez was involved in a Gainesville double shooting in 2007. According to the police report, three men leaving a local nightclub were shot in their car at a red light. One man was hit in the head and another in the arm. The unharmed third man in the back, Randall Cason, gave a description of two men; one being former Gator Reggie Nelson, and the other a large "Hawaiian" or "Hispanic" male with a muscular build and a lot of tattoos.
From the police report:
"As they were waiting for the light to change, the Hawaiian football player and Reggie Nelson walked up to their car on the right side. Then without saying a work [sic], the Hawaiian pointed a small handgun in the front right window and fired five quick shots. Cason saw Smith slump over with blood coming out of the back of the head, at which time the Hawaiian and Nelson took off running towards McDonald's."
 While most instances of Hernandez' name is blacked out, it exists in two sections: one where it's noted he "invoked his right to counsel" and did not answer questions, and another where Cason "rescinded his identification of Aaron Hernandez and Reggie Nelson," indicating at some point he had fingered Hernandez as "The Hawaiian." 
Police say the case is still open, and the only reason the file was released was an error by a clerk responding to a public records request. While authorities are looking for a connection, Hernandez has at least gained a new nickname: "The Hawaiian." Look out for the Punch Man!
