Former professional baseball player shot to death in North Carolina

GREENSBORO, NC (AP) — Authorities in North Carolina say a former professional baseball player was shot to death and a suspect has been arrested.

The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office says 41-year-old Jeffrey Goldbach was found suffering from a gunshot wound Sunday night.

The sheriff’s office arrested 37-year-old Brandon Christopher Hyde and charged him with second-degree murder. A motive for the shooting wasn’t immediately released. Authorities say a second person was wounded in the shooting.

Hyde is jailed on a $75,000 bond. It’s unclear whether he has an attorney.

Goldbach was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 1998, but spent his entire professional career in the minor leagues.
