On Sunday night, July 15, 2012 they went to a club called "Cure" in the South End of Boston where an argument broke out. Sometime after midnight they and 3 other men left the club with Daniel driving a BMW sedan. They stopped at a traffic light on Shawmut Avenue, about to make a left turn onto Herald Street, when a silver or gray SUV with Rhode Island license plates pulled alongside them. Someone from the SUV opened fire, killing the 2 men in the front seat and injuring one of the 3 passengers in the back seat.Â
Police responded to a call just after 2 a.m. ET and determined that the deceased were Safiro Furtado @28 and Daniel Abreu @29. The 2 friends were buried next to each other. The case remained unsolved for a year, until Police arrested NFLs New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez for the shooting. Hernandez was charged and tried for the 2 murders. The seven women and five men of the Suffolk Superior Court Jury took 37 hours and 5 1/2 days to decide Hernandez was Not Guilty.
The murder cases are now considered closed with no convictions on record.Â
Aaron Hernandez has since died of a suicide
