Steve McNair was asleep when he was killed, Nashville police chief Ronal Serpas said at a press conference on Wednesday, because there were no defensive wounds. After shooting McNair in the head, Sahel Kazemi apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head. .jpg)
Before shooting herself, she sat next to his body and "tried to stage it so she would fall in his lap," Serpas said. She did, but her body slid to the floor and ended up at McNair's feet. The gun was found underneath her.
20-year-old Kazemi was distraught about mounting financial problems and her belief that he was seeing someone else, Serpas said Wednesday.
Kazemi "was spinning out of control" when she shot McNair four times as he dozed on a sofa early Saturday, then turned the gun on herself, Serpas said.
Interviews with friends revealed that she was making payments on two cars, her rent was doubling and she suspected the married McNair was having a second affair with another young woman. She told a friend on Friday that "my life is a ball of s--- and I should end it," Serpas said.
Serpas said detectives learned that Kazemi recently found out about another young woman she thought McNair was romantically involved with and had even followed that woman home, though she did not confront her.
The bodies were discovered Saturday afternoon by McNair's longtime friend, Wayne Neeley, who said he rented the condo with McNair. Neeley, after discovering the bodies called a friend, Robert Gaddy, who arrived and called 911 Serpas said.
Kazemi had no history of violence, but "on the last several days of her life it's obvious that she made some very poor decisions," Serpas said.
A funeral will be held Saturday in McNair's native Mississippi.
