Angel Villalona, a highly-touted prospect in the San Francisco Giants' system, is the prime suspect in a killing. The Associated Press is reporting the 19-year-old has turned himself into authorities in the Dominican Republic. He is a suspect in the shooting death of a 25-year-old man, Mario Felix de Jesus Velete, in a La Romana bar.
Villalona could face up to 20 years in prison, if he's found guilty of the crime. He will have a court appearance Monday.
Villalona first signed with the Giants when he was 16. This past season, in advanced Single-A, Villalona hit .267 with nine home runs, 42 RBI and a .704 OPS in 74 games.
