Ex-Met Darryl Hamilton found dead in murder-suicide

Former Mets outfielder Darryl Hamilton was identified by police in Pearland, Texas, as one of two victims in a murder-suicide.

Officers responding to a disturbance call Sunday found Hamilton’s body near the front entrance. Monica Jordan, 44, was found dead in another part of the home.

Hamilton was shot more than once and Jordan died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to investigators.

The couple’s 14-month-old child was found unharmed in the home. The infant was released to Texas Child Protective Services, the statement said.

Hamilton, 50, hit .291 during 13 season in the major leagues.
