The Real-Life Murder Behind ‘American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez’: What Happened to the NFL Star?


Ryan Murphy's 'American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez' is based on the NFL star's violent crimes, murder conviction and death by suicide.

Ryan Murphy, the prolific TV producer behind “American Horror Story” and its many spinoffs, is back with another of his infamous, real-life murder dramas. This storyline follows Aaron Hernandez, the NFL tight end who appeared to be on a straight path to the Hall of Fame when his career was cut short by a murder conviction and a one-way ticket to a maximum-security prison in Massachusetts. Later that same day, Lloyd’s body was found by a jogger at an industrial park, one mile from Hernandez’s house, with five gunshot wounds to his back and side.
