Aaron Hernandez is guilty of first-degree murder.

The ex-New England Patriots tight end was found guilty on Wednesday of killing friend Odin Lloyd in 2013.

The verdict came after six days of deliberations and comes with an automatic life sentence.

It was reached by the jury in Fall River, Massachusetts after 34 hours of deliberations but does not end the fallen star's legal troubles.

He still will stand trial for the 2012 murder of two other individuals outside a Boston nightclub.

Authorities previously said they believe Lloyd was killed because he knew of Hernandez's involvement in the Boston homicides.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in that case
