Houston Police have identified the two bodies found in an alleged-murder suicide on Sunday as former MLB player and TV analyst Darryl Hamilton and his wife Monica Jordan.

According to the Houston Chronicle, officers discovered the bodies around 4:45 pm on Sunday while responding to an emergency call about a domestic disturbance. They found Hamilton’s body just inside the front door of the home and Jordan’s in another area inside the house. Preliminary reports state that, “Hamilton had been shot more than once and Jordan died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

Police also found Hamilton’s 13-month-old son unharmed in the house.

A stellar defensive-outfielder, Hamilton boasted an impressive career fielding percentage of .995 across 14 seasons spent with the Brewers, Rangers, Giants, Rockies and Mets. He joined the MLB Network as an on-air analyst prior to the 2013 season.
