Dennis “D.J.” Hernandez, the brother of former NFL starwho died by suicide while in prison on a murder conviction, was arrested last week after allegedly going to both the University of Connecticut and Brown University earlier this month to “map the schools out” for the presumed purpose of carrying out mass shootings, according to court documents obtained by the Hartford Courant.
Instead of attending court earlier this month, a person close to Hernandez told Bristol police last Tuesday he allegedly drove to UConn and Brown University in Rhode Island and walked into a number of buildings and classrooms to “map out the schools,” according to Bristol police reports. The person who shared the texts “surmised” that he was planning to commit a school shooting, police wrote.
Those close to Hernandez expressed concern to police that he has been “displaying very erratic behavior lately” and is “extremely sick” with a deteriorating mental health situation, Bristol police wrote in their report. A woman who was dating the former UConn football player told police the two went to a beach on July 3 and that he broke down after someone recognized him as the brother of Aaron Hernandez, according to the police report.
Hernandez was the quarterbacks coach at Brown University for one season during the 2011-12 academic year, the spokesperson said, adding that police at the school “implemented protective measures immediately” upon being made aware of the alleged threats.
