Nashville police have now confirmed what was believed all along. Ex-NFL star Steve McNair’s 20-year-old girlfriend killed him before turning the gun on herself.
hey said they may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi’s mind when she shot McNair in his condominium early Saturday, but interviews with friends led detectives to conclude she was becoming increasingly distraught over events in her life, including financial problems. Police said she also suspected McNair was seeing another woman.
Police earlier had labeled McNair’s death a homicide, but awaited further tests and investigation before saying for sure what happened. At one point, Kazemi told an associate that her “personal life was all screwed up,” Police Chief Ronal Serpas said.
She had mounting debts and had been unable to sell her car. Her roommate was moving, which would have doubled her rent.
“We do know that she was clearly sending a message during the last five to seven days of her life that things were going bad quickly,” Serpas said, though there was no indication she told anyone she planned to harm McNair.
