A former place-kicker for the Oakland Raiders is being sought in a drive-by shooting last month at the home of entertainers Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn, police said Wednesday.

Cole Murdoch Ford, 31, whose three-year NFL career ended after several crucial missed kicks during the 1997 season, was named in a felony warrant stemming from the Sept. 21 shooting, Sgt. Chris Jones said.

"I can confirm this individual was at one time a kicker for the Oakland Raiders," Jones said. "We have not found him."

It appears that he should search for a career that does not require good aim.

In 1996, the Raiders were fighting for their playoff lives when they went into Tampa and saw their season obliterated when kicker Cole Ford missed a point-blank field goal at the end. The game went into overtime and Tampa, which would win only five other games, prevailed 20-17.
