Prosecutors in Massachusetts today showed surveillance video of Aaron Hernandez with Odin Lloyd in the car the former NFL star was driving the night he allegedly murdered the man.

The former New England Patriots tight end could be seen on a camera -- mounted at a Canton gas station -- pumping gas and entering a convenience store before the June 13, 2013 murder of Lloyd.

Prosecutors have said that Hernandez, 25, rented a Nissan Altima -- the same one seen in the surveillance footage played in court today -- prior to Lloyd's murder. Prosecutors said the man in the car was Lloyd.

Inside the store, Hernandez can be seen buying bubble gum -- an item prosecutors have often used to connect him to the murder.

Hernandez is on trial in the murder of Lloyd, 27, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's then-fiancee at the time. There have been questions where the slaying occurred, although the victim's body was later found at an industrial plant.

Although Lloyd was shot, no gun was ever recovered.

Prosecutors also entered into evidence photos for the jury to see of tire marks and shoe prints recovered in North Attleboro at the site of where Lloyd's body was recovered. They have argued that the prints match a pair of Air Jordan's Hernandez owned.
