Former Mets Player Darryl Hamilton Dead In Murder-Suicide Damn, it’s like Steve McNair all over again. Via ESPN Former major leaguer Darryl Hamilton has been killed in a murder-suicide at a suburban Houston home, police said Monday. He was 50. Hamilton was found Sunday after he was fatally shot in a house in Pearland. He had worked for the MLB Network since 2013. An initial investigation determined Hamilton was shot several times and that a woman in the home died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. She was identified as 44-year-old Monica Jordan, Pearland Police Lt. Patrick Savage said. Police said Hamilton and Jordan’s 14-month-old child, who was found unharmed at the home, was turned over to Child Protective Services. Hamilton was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He played for five teams over 13 seasons in the majors before retiring in 2001, reaching the postseason in four of his final five seasons. In front of kid?!?! “All of us at Major League Baseball are shocked and saddened by this tragedy,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “Darryl followed a successful 13-year career on the field by assembling a multifaceted career in our game, working for MLB Advanced Media and in our Baseball Operations Department before moving on to MLB Network. “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.” R.I.P. to Darryl and prayers up for his family and friends.
