Former MLB Player Found in Houston-Area Murder Suicide

Former MLB player Darryl Hamilton was found dead in an apparent murder-suicide at his home in Pearland, Texas on Sunday. Hamilton was a standout center fielder and member of the New York Mets team that reached the Word Series in 2000.

According to Pearland police, the 50-year-old’s body was found with multiple gunshot wounds inside the house along with the body of his girlfriend and mother of his child, Monica Jordan. Jordan, 44, was found in a separate part of the home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

It is currently unclear what caused the argument. The couple’s 14-month-old child was found unharmed and turned over to Child Protective Services.

Hamilton retired from baseball after playing 13 seasons in the majors with the Brewers, Rangers, Giants, Rockies and Mets.

“All of us at Major League Baseball are shocked and saddened by this tragedy,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “He was a talented and personable individual, and we were proud to call him a member of the baseball family. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my deepest sympathies to Darryl’s family and his many friends throughout our game.”
