Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has settled a lawsuit filed by a former associate who claimed Hernandez shot him in the face.

Attorneys for Alexander Bradley filed documents in federal court in Miami on Friday saying the suit has been settled. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Bradley said Hernandez shot him in the right eye in February 2013 after they argued outside a Miami nightclub. Bradley claims he lost the ability to see out of the eye.

Hernandez is serving a life sentence in the June 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, a semi-pro football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.

Hernandez is still facing murder charges in Boston. He pled not guilty to shooting two men after leaving a nightclub in July 2012.

Prosecutors say Bradley was with Hernandez at time of the 2012 shootings.
