Already serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd, Aaron Hernandez could have more coming his way. 

Per the Associated Press, a survivor of a 2012 drive-by shooting in Boston that killed two identified the former Patriots tight end as the shooter during a pretrial hearing on Tuesday. Hernandez is facing two counts of murder for the deaths of 29-year-old Daniel de Abreu and 28-year-old Safiro Furtado. 

The shooting allegedly was the result of one of them bumping into him at a nightclub earlier in the night. 

From the Associated Press: 

Sanches said he had been a passenger in a car stopped at a light in the city's South End when an SUV pulled up. He said someone from the SUV said "What's up, negroes?" and then gunshots began.

Hernandez’ trial is set to begin on Feb. 13, though his lawyers requested for it to be delayed during Tuesday’s hearing.
