The brother of former NFL player and convicted killer Aaron Hernandez is facing charges for allegedly making threats against the University of Connecticut and Brown University.

A woman told police DJ Hernandez said he went to the schools to map them out and was planning a shooting, according to officials.

He was arrested in Bristol on July 19.

Brown said in part, "On July 18, 2023, officers from the Bristol Police Department in Connecticut alerted Brown's Department of Public Safety to alleged threats by Hernandez that referenced multiple schools. Brown Police implemented protective measures immediately and remained in contact with police in Connecticut, who arrested the suspect shortly thereafter."

UConn said in part, "The UConn Police Department, was aware of initial information related to the subsequent arrest of Dennis Hernandez by the Bristol Police Department. Police departments evaluate threats for credibility and imminence and the necessary resources are deployed to address the threat. At the time, there was no known imminent threat to UConn."
