Wallace is expected to be charged for accessory after murder in the June 17 death of Lloyd in North Attleborough, Mass.
The 23-year-old Hernandez, who was released from the New England Patriots following his arrest in the case on Wednesday, is charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail.
Lloyd's body was found in an industrial park less than a mile from Hernandez's home in North Attleborough. In court Wednesday, a prosecutor recounted the events of June 17, saying Hernandez and two other men picked up Lloyd in Dorchester, Mass. before he was shot.
Carlos Ortiz, 27, of Bristol, Conn., has also been arrested in the case and is charged as a fugitive from justice in Connecticut. He appeared in court in Bristol on Friday and a judge ordered he be turned over to authorities in Massachusetts.
