Former Met Darryl Hamilton Killed

Former Met Darryl Hamilton has been found dead in what is being reported as a murder-suicide.

According to reports, Hamilton was killed near the entry of his home in Houston on Monday. He had multiple gunshot wounds. The body of Monica Jordan was found in another part of the house. She was killed by an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“At this point it does not appear that there was any kind of struggle. The incident occurred just inside the front door,” police Lieutenant Onesimo Lopez said.

The 50-year-old Hamilton played for the Mets between 1999-2001. He was mostly a part-time player, but he was on two Mets playoffs teams and played in 2000 World Series.
