"Everybody in school used to say, like, I was always getting in trouble with my mom because he was always a class clown," his sister, Olivia Thibou, told CNN affiliate WHDH. "Everyone knew him to always make jokes, to laugh.
But despite making mischief in class, Thibou did not recall Lloyd being a disrespectful person.
"Anybody who knows my brother would say that he's just a funny guy," she added. "He's very respectful. He never really disrespected anybody."
Lloyd was also an athlete who had decorated his family's house with many trophies over the years. He was currently a player for the Boston Bandits, the oldest semi-pro team in Boston, and working for an architecture firm.
Police believe Lloyd was killed following a dispute that had occurred between him and Hernandez while at a Boston nightclub a few days before Lloyd's body was discovered. Lloyd's girlfriend was the sister to Hernandez's fiancé.
Hernandez was charged with first-degree murder on Wednesday. He pled not guilty to charges of murder and five additional firearms charges. Police arrested a second man in the case, Carlos Ortiz, also 27, on Thursday. Allegations against Ortiz were not released. New Britain State's Attorney Brian Preleski says Ortiz was charged as a fugitive from justice and has waived extradition to Massachusetts.
