The Attleboro District Court released a series of images from Aaron Hernandez's home security system as part of a set of newly unsealed documents in his first-degree murder case.

One of the images shows Hernandez on the night of the murder with what prosecutors say is the gun that killed Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-professional football player.

The murder weapon has not yet been found, but police believe Lloyd was shot five times with a .45 caliber weapon like the one Hernandez is holding in the photo. They were able to recover a magazine from a .45 caliber Glock pistol registered to Hernandez during a search of his home.

The court released 104 pages of documents, including the photos, and made them available to reporters for $1 per photocopy. The images released to the Internet have been poor-quality camera phone shots of the documents, but the prosecutors have access to higher-quality images from the surveillance tape.

Hernandez is due in court Aug. 22 for a probable case hearing.
