After Saturday's shocking death of former NFL quarterback, Steve McNair, and his girlfriend became worldwide news, details of the facts have pointed toward a few possibilties.
Now the facts are in and a coroner has determined that this was a case of murder-suicide committed by Sahel Kazemi, 20, the woman McNair had been dating. Kazemi, only days prior to the killing was booked for a DUI violation.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Police in Nashville are confirming that ex-NFL star Steve McNair's 20-year-old girlfriend killed him before turning the gun on herself.
They say they may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi's mind when she shot McNair in his condominium, but they say it's clear it was a murder-suicide.
Police earlier had labeled McNair's death a homicide, but awaited further tests and investigation before saying for sure what happened.
They believe he was asleep on a sofa when Kazemi shot him in the head. She then apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head and then shooting herself.
McNair, a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans most of his career, was shot at a condo he rented with another man. The gun was found underneath Kazemi.
Facts about Kazemi have been flowing in from relatives, co-workers and friends. Her brother acknowledged she had recently purchased a gun. Kazemi, who was an adopted child was a waitress at a popular restaurant in Tennessee, reportedly tested positive for having gun-powder residue on her hands at the scene of the crime.
