Richard-Cedeno supposedly shot some woman he was shacked up in a Santo Domingo hotel room with, but it wasn't his wife. He got off with a $100 fine for involuntary manslaughter. Here are a few good ones:

John Clarkson--Slashed his wife to death with a razor. Voted to HOF in 1963--hey Pete Rose that'll teach you to gamble. If you had only just done the old lady in you'de have a bust in Cooperstown by now.

John Glenn--Played for the Chicago team in 1876 and 1877. He was only a robber till he left prison. Then he raped a 12 year old girl. He was shot and killed by a policeman.

Then there is the all time favorite Terry Larkin:

Terry Larkin--Terry also played for the Chicago team, 1878 and 1879. After he retired from baseball he shot his wife and slit his own throat. Not being a good shot or very adept with the razor, both survived. The little episode did send Larkin to an asylum. While there he dived into a radiator. His wife, more forgiving than mine would have been, nursed him back to health. So, never wanting to leave a good deed unpunished, he killed her father and then thankfully himself.
