Steve McNair with wife Mechelle McNair, who reportedly was unware of her husband's affair with Kazemi.

The Tennessean reported on Tuesday that form NFL quarterback Steve McNair’s blood-alcohol level was twice Tennessee’s legal limit for driving when he was murdered by his girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi, 20.

Medical examiner, Dr. Feng Li said McNair’s blood-alcohol level was .16 and Kazemi had traces of marijuana in her system.

Two days prior to the murder-suicide on July 4, in which Kazemi shot McNair and then turned the gun on herself, she was stopped by police for driving under the influence and told them she was high, not drunk. To see video of the DUI stop, click here

Kazemi reportedly shot McNair, 36, because she was having financial problems and she also believed the married football great was seeing yet another woman.

On Friday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives arrested Adrian J. Gilliam Jr. for selling the gun that killed McNair to Kazemi. Gilliam was convicted of murder and attempted robbery in Florida in 1993. Gilliam has been charged with illegally possessing a firearm, which as a felon, he is barred from doing.
