Arizona police are searching for former MLB pitcher Charlie Haeger with probable cause to arrest the 37-year-old on suspicion of murder and aggravated assault in the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend, according to Scottsdale Police Department spokesman Sgt. Ben Hoster.
Haeger's former girlfriend, who has not been publicly identified, was found fatally shot in Scottsdale on Friday. The victim's roommate told police he saw Haeger emerge with a handgun from his ex-girlfriend's room and immediately ran for help after the former ballplayer pointed the gun at him.
A vehicle belonging to Haeger was discovered near Flagstaff, Arizona, on Saturday, more than 100 miles from the scene of the shooting.
