Police in Pearland, Texas have confirmed that former Brewers, Mets, and Rockies (among others) outfielder Darryl Hamilton was killed in an apparent murder-suicide involving his girlfriend, Monica Jordan. Police were called when neighbors reported a disturbance Sunday evening at a home believed to be owned by Jordan, and when they arrived they found both Hamilton and Jordan in different rooms of the house with fatal gunshot wounds. Their 13-month-old son was also in the home but unharmed.We mourn the passing of our friend and colleague, Darryl Hamilton. pic.twitter.com/GXcTDgkhi9

Hamilton spent 13 years in the Major Leagues and finished a career of 1,328 games played with only 14 errors, and later became an analyst for MLB Network. His last tweet is from Saturday night, when he congratulated Max Scherzer on his bittersweet no-hitter.Once officers entered the home, they found Hamilton, 50, dead near the entrance and Monica Jordan, 44, dead in another area of the home….Police say it appears Hamilton suffered several gunshots and Jordan had a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
