A hearing on the finances of former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez will be held Thursday in connection with a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of the man he is accused of killing , according to court documents . The lawsuit , filed Monday in a Massachusetts state court , claims Hernandez `` maliciously , willfully , wantonly , recklessly or by gross negligence '' caused the death of Odin Lloyd . Hernandez , 24 , has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder in the June shooting of Lloyd , 27 , a Boston area semipro football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez 's girlfriend . Prosecutors told CNN that Hernandez allegedly planned and carried out the slaying : Lloyd was shot five times with a semi-automatic .45-caliber handgun . A grand jury investigating allegations of gun trafficking against Hernandez is the same one that handed up the murder charge , a source told CNN in October . The victim 's estate is seeking unspecified `` compensation for the conscious pain and suffering endured by Odin Lloyd . '' Hernandez had a NFL contract worth nearly $ 40 million , but it was terminated when he was charged with the slaying and firearm offenses . Lloyd 's family also seeks a court order prohibiting the Patriots from paying Hernandez more than $ 3 million he is apparently owed from his contract . An attorney for Hernandez did not immediately return a message left Wednesday by CNN . The attorney representing Lloyd 's family did not respond to calls for comment . Lloyd 's sister declined comment . Hernandez is named in another civil suit . A witness that sources have described as Hernandez 's `` muscle man '' said he was with the ex-Patriot the night of a 2012 Boston double homicide . Police have said that the homicide may be linked to Hernandez , according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation . That witness , Alexander Bradley , has filed a civil lawsuit accusing Hernandez of shooting him in the face during an argument after they left a Florida strip club in February . Bradley lost sight in one eye because of the shooting , according to the lawsuit .
