Investigators said it appeared Hamilton had been shot more than once and Jordan died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police said the couple's 13-month-old boy was also found unharmed in the home. The boy was turned over to the state's Child Protective Services. Hamilton was born in Baton Rouge, La., and played in college at Nicholls State before being drafted by the Brewers in 1986. As an MLB player, Hamilton batted .291 with 1,333 hits, 707 runs scored and 454 RBI in his career. Known as a terrific defensive outfielder, Hamilton committed only 14 errors out of 2,770 defensive chances in his career for a .995 fielding percentage. Hamilton was part of four playoff teams, including the 2000 National League Champion New York Mets. Hamilton spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Milwaukee Brewers (1988-1995) before joining the Texas Rangers (1996), San Francisco Giants (1997-1998), Colorado Rockies (1998-1999) and Mets (1999-2001). He joined the MLB Network as an analyst in 2013. "We mourn the passing of our friend and colleague, Darryl Hamilton," the network said on Twitter.
Senseless and selfish. Now their child has to grow up without a mother or father. Weird that the child's mother did the shooting. Kind of like the crazy bitch that killed Steve McNair except she was just his side piece that shot him when he tried to break it off.
