Signs point to murder-suicide in McNair case
Evidence suggests that former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was killed in a murder-suicide with Sahel Kazemi, a 20-year old woman he had been dating for several months, media outlets are reporting.
McNair was found shot to death in a Nashville condominium he was renting. He suffered several gunshot wounds, including one to the head. Kazemi was found on the floor near him with a single gunshot wound to her head. The Nashville Tennessean reports a pistol was found near her body.
Additionally, Nashville police are not actively looking for suspects. Police have not yet called the deaths the result of a murder-suicide. Autopsies are scheduled for today, after which an official cause of death is likely to be named.
"We expect to make additional conclusions after the autopsy process," police spokesperson Don Aaron told the Tennessean.
On Thursday, Nashville police had arrested Kazemi on a DUI charge while driving a 2007 Escalade registered to her and McNair. McNair was in the front seat, but didn't break the law and was allowed to leave by taxi.
I'm sadden for both victims and their families.
