SCOTTSALE, ARIZ. — The unoccupied vehicle of a former Chicago White Sox player sought in the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend was found Saturday found near Flagstaff in northern Arizona, police said.
Police have probable cause to arrest 37-year-old Charlie Haeger on suspicion of murder and aggravated assault in the fatal shooting Friday, said Sgt. Ben Hoster, a Scottsdale Police Department spokesman.
Though the vehicle was discovered near Flagstaff, “Haeger is still outstanding,” Hoster said. “We are coordinating with law enforcement in northern Arizona as we continue to search for the suspect.”
The Sox selected Haeger in the 25th round of the 2001 draft out of Detroit Catholic Central High School in Novi, Mich.
