And The Plot Thickens…

UPDATE: DUI Video of Sahel 2 days before shooting:




UPDATE: Tennessee police have now confirmed that Steve McNair’s 20 year old girlfriend killed him before killing herself. Sahel Kazemi's motive may never be known but her friends say she may have been upset over financial problems and suspicion McNair was seeing someone else. Kazemi was trying, but unsuccessful, at selling her car. Her roommate was also moving out, so the rent would be all on her shoulders.

Kazemi’s family says she was sure McNair would divorce his wife. So much so, that she was planning to sell her belongings and move in with him.

Police think McNair was asleep on the couch when Kazemi killed him, then shot herself.

Word on the curb is the wife of slain former NFL quarterback Steve McNair did not know of his affair with 20 year old Sahel Kazemi.

Mike Mu, a man who has worked with McNair’s charity, says Mechelle McNair did not know who Kazemi was until she heard the young woman was found dead in the same condo as her husband over the weekend.

McNair was brutally gunned down by 4 shots (2 to his chest and 2 to the dome) and Kazemi died of a single gunshot wound to the head.


The medical examiner says the deaths were 95% likely a murder-suicide (though police have yet to announce a confirmation). Officials say Kazemi was found face down with the gun under her. The autopsy found she shot herself once and fell face down at the feet of McNair (that's tragically poetic) who was dead on the couch. Kazemi had reportedly just bought the gun used in the shooting.

Mechelle has made no public comments about the deaths but friends say she has been distraught and “in and out” of it since the shootings. Meanwhile, Kazemi’s family tells a different story. They say McNair was due to divorce Mechelle and start a new life with Kazemi.

Mechelle is the mother of two of McNair’s four sons. They married in 1997 and were reportedly on the market for a new home.

McNair will be laid to rest on Saturday in Mississippi.

Just sad all around.
