Steve McNair. Former NFL quarterback shot dead.
There was another strange and tragic celebrity death as former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds. His mistress 20 year-old Sahel Kazemi was also found dead at the Nashville, Tennessee condo. McNair had several bullet wounds, and Kazemi was found with a single shot to the head.
McNair was 36 and played 13 seasons before retiring in April 2008. He was married to Mechelle McNair. and they had four sons. A police spokesman said authorities were still investigating the shootings which they are calling a murder-suicide.
Police officers responded at the scene after receiving a call about injured persons inside the condo. When they arrived at the site, they found a man and woman shot to death inside the residence. The condominium is one that McNair was known to frequent, but a police spokeswoman said she didn't know if he was the owner.
In June, McNair opened a restaurant near the Tennessee State University campus. It was closed Saturday evening, but it had become a small memorial, with flowers, candles and notes placed outside the door.
On the restaurant's windows were messages: "We will miss you Steve" and "We love you Steve."
May Steve McNair and all who have recently passed on have a smooth transition to whatever is next for them. And may we all recognize that life is precious and can end at any moment

I oved Steve McNair, he was one of the best QB's to play the. I can't believe someone would kill him. whoever did should confess and have life in prison!!!!!!!!!!!!
He didn't have multiple gun shot wounds.. Just one to the head (reported on ESPNews)
Seems like she did the shooting since she only had one shot to her body. He probably wanted to end the relationship and she 'snapped".
ashton, did you read the article?
HEY ASHTON,READ THE STORY, HIS MISTRESS DID IT,YOU MORON.
Ray.. he did have multiple shots. I just read that on espn news online. She did it
its all common sense wat happened.... they were most likely having a heated argument or steve was breaking it off wit her, she couldnt stand the fact of that so decided to unfortunaly end his life, with her doing that she realized the amount of trouble she would be in and decided to take her life as well.
Big Surprise! Pro Athlete has affair, I feel bad for his kids and wife. You want to play with fire you might get burned.
I think the wife found out about the affair since the oui arrest and hired a hit on them to look like a murder-suicide. I mean why would the mistress do it? she was getting hers, the wife... she was gonna get hers. think about.
I think someone should be talking to Ray Lewis about this...
Why do we mourn these people as if we know them personally. That Rams/Titans superbowl was one of the three best ever, in my opinion. I was rooting for McNair. But just because he was a good QB and appeared friendly in front of a camera doesn't mean he wasn't a douche bag in real life. He made his own bed and he made his own coffin. Sex sells and sex kills. His children are the real victims. Sorry for your loss, Eddie George, but I'm not crying for you.
f*uck em' he did'nt give me no $$$
When will married folks quit the cheating and living honest lives? That Gov. and his spanish mistress(the man)Steve and his mistress(the man)John Edwards and his mistress/baby's mama(again the man) Look don't get married if you can stick to one woman one man. A lot of misery in this world would be solved if they would just stay single. Some folks just shouldn't be married. My heart goes out to his wife, children, and his family.
20yr women..i mean girls, don't commit violent crimes like this. Ok thats a bold statement, but really think about how many 20yrs girls can u think of that shot their "FRIEND" and then turns the gun on themself? Not to mention that, "FRIEND" gave them a Escalade, a condo, and just happens 2 be a famous football player. Come On? doesn't anybody else watch,"The First 48" The nashville episodes always run out time before solving the case, their sitting at their desk waiting 4 that phone call with the great lead. Its the wife!!!!! She sent her message by shooting him more than once. making sure he was dead for doing this 2 her.
Two people are dead and no matter what the circumstances this is a waste of beautiful lives. Let's not get bogged down in the situation but let's focus on the fact we have two dead young people. Bless their families.
Maybe she killed him because he would'nt get involved with her romantically.Just maybe he met her at Dave & Buster's and in trying to help her offered her a job driving him around so he would'nt get in any more trouble driving around drunk.Do you really think someone with something to hide would buy a vehicle and put both of them down as owners?Reports are that he came to the condo alone.So did she.He was sitting on a couch and not laying in a bed.Things are not always like they look.
Jahala what's with all the man-hating sexism? Wasn't it a woman that killed him?
sad very sad. people stop cheating!!!
Steve did amazing things on the field. However, a man's first responsibility is to his family. His disregard for that responsibility lead to his death. His selfishness is what took this potentially amazing man from his friends, fans, and ultimately his family. People are focusing on him as an amazing person. But let's not forget it was having an affair with a 20 year old, who days before was cited for a DUI . . . under age drinking.
we only know that it was a woman beside his wife and jumping to judge it was an affair.let us not judge unless we be judge.all of us look at attractive people in a sexually way, so that make us that are married,in a relationship cheaters. my heart goes uot to both famlies and my GOD BLESS them in their loss.if you feel sorry for the wife and kids stop trying to make things seem as hubsand and father was cheating, some kind of fan some of you are.i don't like football the point is two people lost their lives.
What does a 36 year old man want with a 20 year old girl? He should have known better.
Sahel Kazemi was an Iranian waitress at Dave and Busters. She also drove a Kia before getting the Escalade. She didn't have much to begin with so she killed him for breaking it off. He was shot four times. She was shot once. Seems to me she's the culprit.
think it was a set up and the wife had something to do with this..she know about the affair AND the dui...a hitman kills them both and leaves the gun with no fingerprints..it could be that Michelle is the killer...
He got what his cheating behind deserve, I feel sorry for Michelle and thr boys. It was a holiday he should have been with his family!
It is a shame to blame the wife after all the humiliation she has been thru,she would have shot the woman 4 times instead of one , killed his cheating behind and waited for the police every judge in america would understandn that kind of crime, let this be a lesson for cheaters
people are way to quick to pass their opinions on something they don't have a clue about. let's get the facts first, and pray for the families.
Just another cheating low life! I guarantee Mechelle had no earthly idea. Been there.
This is just sad and we need to pray for the family and stop playing detective.
WOW PEOPLE.... AFTER READING THIS I FEEL MY IQ HAS LOWERED... FIRST OF ALL TWO PEOPLE WHO HAS YET TO LIVE THEIR LIVES OUT ARE DEAD!! CHEATING DOSENT EQUAL DEATH... AND IF THE WIFE HIRED AN HIT WOULDNT THERE BE A HUGH AMOUNT OF MONEY MISSING?? IF THE WIFE DID IT IM PRETTY SURE THE MISTRESS WOULD HAVE MORE WOUNDS THAN HIM, IF YOU BEEN CHEATED ON THEN YOU WOULD KNOW AS WOMAN WE FIND OURSELVES BLAMING THE WOMAN MORE THAN THE MAN. AND AS FOR THE COMMENT SHE HAD NOTHIN TO START OUT WITH SHE DROVE A KIA JUST BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE EXPENSIVE CARS AND WORK AS A WAITRESS DOSENT MEAN YOUR LIFE ISNT FULL OF LIFE, HER LIFE MUST HAVE BEEN HE FOUND INTEREST IN HER EITHER SEXUALLY OR JUST PLAIN INNOCENSE FRIENDSHIP WHAT HAPPENDED TO GUYS BEING ABLE TO JUST BE FRIENDS... HUH? JUST LET THE DETECTIVES DO THEIR JOBS AND GIVE SOME SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY
My heart goes out to the wife nine times out of ten, she was sitting at home and beening a good wife and mother. It is hard for her because she has to get over being him before for cheating on her first, before she can mourn her husband. My prayers are with her and her children and his mother. You don't know how it feel if you have not been through this.
Revised Statement!!!!!!!!!
My heart goes out to the wife nine times out of ten, she was sitting at home and beening a good wife and mother, taking care of the house and children. It is hard for her because she has to get over him cheating on her first, before she can mourn her husbands death. But the Bible says whats done in the dark will come to the light. He did not say how it would come to the light. This is a woe to all who have not got caught GET YOUR BUSINESS STRAIGHT. My prayers are with her and her children and his mother. You don't know how it feel if you have not been through this.
What's done in the dark will come to the light whether you're dead or alive. This time death brought it to the light. What a shame!
The news reports I read said Ms. Kazemi shot herself in her left temple but only had gunshot residue on her right hand. How is that physically possible? If she curved her arm around her face to shot herself on the right side of her head, could she have had enough strength to pull the trigger in that position?
You must also take into account that regardless of who he was (He is still black)The police are going to take thier sweet time!Remember his friend was a minority as well! It is going to take some of his NFL friends to get the ball rolling on this investigation! Also I am led to believe that the police officer(the one that pulled them over 3 days prior)was involved with mcnairs girlfriend in the past and mcnair was unaware! She bought the gun to protect herself against the officer not kill mcnair(WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
These are all stupid. Especially the one who think the police are going to take thier time cause he is black? I laughed out loud when i read that. The police are good at what they do, if you can do better, go get hired. get a life.
I do not think this was a murder suicide at all..... It will all come to light......If the police department do the proper investigation..I don't think the woman that was scorned was Sahel!!!!!
