HIALEAH, Fla. (AP) — A gunman who shot and killed his wife and three other women at a South Florida restaurant before committing suicide was the half-brother of former baseball star Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez.
Hernandez’s agent, Mike Maulini, told the Spanish-language newspaper El Nuevo Herald that the family does not know what caused 38-year-old Gerardo Regalado to shoot seven women Sunday night at a Hialeah restaurant.
Three women remained hospitalized Monday.
Maulini said Regalado came to Miami from Cuba in 2006. He says Regalado tried not to rely on Hernandez for work and was “a good boy.” However, records show that the house where police said Regalado lived belonged to Hernandez.
In a statement, Hernandez said he offered his sympathy to the families of the victims.
