A lawsuit filed in federal court on June 13 accuses Mr. Hernandez of shooting a Connecticut man in February after an argument at a Miami strip club.?

The lawsuit, first reported by TMZ, was brought by Alexander Bradley, whose lawyer has done personal assistance work for Hernandez.

Mr. Bradley did not name Hernandez as the shooter when Florida police investigated the incident at the time, and the case was closed without filing charges, reports The Boston Globe.

Bradley?s lawyer told ABC News that the lawsuit was voluntarily discontinued because the language describing the injuries was incorrect, but that it was being refiled Wednesday.

In the Massachusetts homicide investigation, the name of the man found in an industrial park near Hernandez?s home Monday was released. The man was 27-year-old Boston resident Odin Lloyd, a semi-pro football player for the Boston Bandits, according to the office of Bristol County District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter.

Mr. Lloyd?s family told reporters he was an ?associate? of Hernandez but refused to comment further.?

The Boston Globe reports that an autopsy ruled Lloyd's death a homicide, although police did not confirm that with the Associated Press.

Neighbors told The Boston Globe that Lloyd was often seen in the neighborhood driving cars with Patriot decals and was thought to be dating the sister of Hernandez?s girlfriend. Police searched Hernandez's home Tuesday night in connection with the investigation.

At a different time, state troopers found a gun while searching the woods and yards of homes between the crime scene and Hernandez?s house, but ballistics tests determined it was not the weapon that killed Lloyd, reports ABC News.
