Carlos Ortiz, an alleged associate of former Patriot Aaron Hernandez will appear in court for a formal arraignment Tuesday morning.

Ortiz is set to be arraigned on charges of murder for his involvement in the shooting death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd last summer in North Attleboro.

Initially, Ortiz was charged as an accessory and with possessing an illegal fire arm, however, charges were upgraded last month.

A third man, Ernest Wallace, also faces murder charges in the incident.
