ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- Two men authorities say were in a
car with former New England Patriots tight end Aaron
Hernandez before one of his friends was shot to death
were in custody on Friday, one charged with illegally
carrying a gun and the other accused of being an
accessory after murder. Prosecutors, who this week
charged Hernandez with murder, havent said who fired
the shots that killed his friend Odin Lloyd, a Boston
semi-pro football player. Carlos Ortiz, who was
arrested in Connecticut but was transferred to
Massachusetts to face the gun charge, and Ernest
Wallace, who walked into a South Florida police
station to surrender, were identified earlier as being
with Hernandez and Lloyd the night of his shooting
death, a prosecutor said. Ortiz was charged Friday
with carrying an unlicensed firearm in North
Attleborough on June 17, the day Lloyd was found shot
to death near Hernandezs home there. Details of the
charge werent released. Wallace, whose wanted poster
was released Thursday night, surrendered in Miramar,
Fla., police said. Authorities had been seeking
Wallace on a charge of acting as an accessory after
Lloyds murder. Details of that allegation also werent
released. Police arrested Hernandez on Wednesday at
his home and charged him with orchestrating Lloyds
execution-style shooting. Prosecutors said Hernandez
orchestrated the killing because Lloyd talked to the
wrong people at a nightclub. Hernandez, Ortiz and
Wallace were in a Nissan Altima with Lloyd shortly
before his death, Bristol County, Mass., District
Attorney C. Samuel Sutter said. "We now have in
custody the three individuals who were in the silver
Nissan Altima," Sutter said Friday when Ortiz was
arraigned on the gun charge in Attleboro District
Court. All three men have ties to Bristol, Conn.:
Hernandez grew up there, Ortiz had been living there
and authorities had conflicting addresses for Wallace
there and in Miramar. Hernandez pleaded not guilty to
murder and was denied bail Thursday. Ortiz also was
being held without bail pending a court hearing on
July 9. Wallace was taken to a jail in Fort
Lauderdale, Fla., pending extradition proceedings,
police said. Hernandezs lawyer argued in court that
the case is circumstantial. He said Hernandez, who was
cut by the Patriots the day he was arrested, wanted to
clear his name. Ortizs attorney, John Connors, said he
will seek bail for his client at the July 9 hearing.
He described Ortiz as a "gentle person" and said he
will advise Ortiz to plead not guilty. "I can say that
his charge has nothing to do with homicide," Connors
said. Wallace walked into the police station and told
officers there was a warrant for his arrest, which
officers confirmed by checking a computer database.
"He stated he knew he had a warrant because he saw
himself on TV," Miramar police Officer Gil Bueno said.
"He was very co-operative. It was uneventful." An
attorney for Wallace, David Meier, told The Boston
Globe that his client was visiting his mother and
other relatives in Miramar when he realized he was
wanted in Massachusetts and went to police. Meier said
Wallace intends to return to Massachusetts "as soon as
possible." Earlier Friday, Ortiz appeared in Bristol
Superior Court in Connecticut, where a judge
authorized turning him over to a Massachusetts state
trooper and a North Attleborough officer. A friend and
a relative of Ortiz said outside the courthouse that
they were stunned by his arrest. They said Ortiz is
the devoted father of two girls and a boy, all under
the age of 9. Ortiz was unemployed recently but
previously worked a long time at a Savers clothing
store, they said. They also said they couldnt believe
Ortiz could be part of a murder. "Hes not that type of
person. He has a good heart," said friend Milton
Montesdeoca, who added he didnt know Hernandez and
never heard Ortiz talk about the football star. Also
Friday, authorities said law enforcement officers
recovered in Bristol a car Wallace was seen driving
before he surrendered. Meanwhile, Lloyds relatives
were preparing for his funeral in Boston on Saturday.
A relative said the service will be at Church of the
Holy Spirit in the citys Mattapan section. Lloyd
played for the Boston Bandits and was dating the
sister of Hernandezs fiancee. Authorities have said
trouble that led to Lloyds killing happened June 14,
when Lloyd went with Hernandez to a Boston nightclub.
Hernandez became upset when Lloyd began talking with
people Hernandez apparently didnt like, prosecutors
said. On June 16, the night before the slaying, a
prosecutor said, Hernandez texted two unidentified
friends and asked them to hurry to Massachusetts from
Connecticut. A few minutes later, he texted Lloyd to
tell him he wanted to get together, prosecutors said.
Authorities say the three men picked up Lloyd at
around 2:30 a.m. June 17, drove him to an industrial
park near Hernandezs home and shot him five times.
Prosecutors said an ammunition clip was found in
Hernandezs Hummer and matched the calibre of casings
found at the scene of Lloyds killing. Hernandez, who
was drafted by the Patriots in 2010 and signed a five-
year contract worth $40 million last summer, could
face life in prison if convicted. ------ Collins

Georgia Tech-Georgia clash came down to the wire, and
this time the Yellow Jackets survived in a Peach State
thriller. Zach Laskeys third touchdown run of the day
accounted for the only score in overtime, and the
16th-ranked Yellow Jackets escaped Sanford Stadium
with a memorable 30-24 victory over the No. 8
Bulldogs. The roller-coaster finish saw Georgia Tech
give up a go-ahead touchdown with 18 seconds left in
regulation, only to have Harrison Butker force OT with
a clutch 53-yard field goal. Butkers extra point in
overtime was blocked, but D.J. White picked off Hutson
Mason on the ensuing possession to give Georgia Tech
(10-2) its first win over its in-state rival since
2008. It was a really crazy game, said Georgia Tech
head coach Paul Johnson. I am so proud of our players.
The Yellow Jackets, who will play Florida State for
ACC crown, had lost 12 of the previous 13 meetings
with Mark Richt as Georgias head coach, including a
disappointment in double overtime last year. Another
heartbreaking loss seemed imminent after Justin Thomas
lost a fumble with 2:41 remaining, leading to Mason
finding Malcolm Mitchell on fourth down to put the
Bulldogs in front, 24-21, with 18 seconds on the
clock. Richt made what turned out to be a poor
decision, opting for a squib kick that gave Georgia
Tech the ball on its own 43-yard line. Im disappointed
in my decision to squib kick, Richt admitted. That
gave them the field position to get it in range and
kick it. That was a poor decision on my part. That was
no ones decision but mine. Thomas ran 21 yards before
going out of bounds with four seconds left, and
Butker, whose previous career-long was 49 yards, got
just enough from 53 yards out to force OT. Five
straight runs -- four by Laskey -- gave the Yellow
Jackets the lead, and Masons ill-advised pass on 2nd-
and-goal was picked off by White. Laskey gained 140 of
Georgia Techs 399 rushing yards, while Thomas passed
for just 64 yards and a touchdown on 6-of-16 attempts.
Mason finished with 194 passing yards for Georgia (9-
3), which committed three turnovers after totaling 11
in its first eight games. Thhe Bulldogs, whose hopes
of reaching the SEC title game were dashed with
Missouris win on Friday, turned to Nick Chubb out of
the backfield with star running back Todd Gurley
having undergone knee surgery earlier this
week.dddddddddddd. Chubb gained 36 of his 129 yards on
the games opening possession and punched one in from
the 1-yard line to give Georgia the early lead. The
freshman nearly scored again in the opening quarter
when he ripped off a 65-yard run. He was pushed out
just before the goal line, and two plays later he
tried launching himself into the end zone and coughed
it up. A long Georgia Tech drive after the turnover
came up empty when Butker had his 37-yard field goal
try blocked midway through the second quarter. Georgia
was going in for another score but again fumbled it
away. Sony Michel lost the ball this time, and Georgia
Tech recovered in the end zone. The Yellow Jackets, in
danger of being shut out in the opening half for the
first time since 2008, converted a pair of fourth-down
tries and got on the board on Darren Wallers 7-yard
touchdown grab with eight seconds left. They were on
the doorstep early in the second half, but Thomas, on
3rd-and- goal, was stuffed up the middle and
disappeared among the mass of bodies. No whistle was
blown for forward progress, and Damian Swann came out
of the pile with the football and raced 99 yards the
other way for a touchdown. Following a blocked Georgia
field goal try, Laskeys 4-yard touchdown run pulled
the Yellow Jackets even late in the third quarter.
Marshall Morgan kicked a 19-yard chip shot with 11:19
remaining, and Georgia Tech responded with a 13-play,
80-yard drive that took nearly seven minutes off the
clock. Laskeys 8-yard touchdown run was followed by a
pooch kick that the Yellow Jackets recovered. They
took over at the Georgia 27 with 4:22 remaining, and
Thomas turnover led to the dramatic conclusion. Game
Notes This was the first overtime game in the history
of Sanford Stadium ... The last time these rivals
squared off with nine wins apiece was 1942 ... Georgia
still leads to all-time series, 64-40-5. ' ' '
