Former NFL quarterback McNair killed in Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Former NFL quarterback Steve
McNair(notes)
was shot multiple times, including a shot to the head, and a pistol was
discovered near the body of the 20-year-old woman found dead with him Saturday
in a downtown condominium.
Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron identified the woman as Sahel Kazemi,
whom he called a “friend” of McNair’s. She had a single gunshot wound to the
head.
Police said McNair was found on the sofa, and Kazemi was very close to him on
the floor. Aaron said the gun was not “readily apparent when the scene was first
locked down.”
Autopsies for both were planned for Sunday.
Aaron said McNair’s wife, Mechelle, is “very distraught.”
“At this juncture, we do not believe she is involved,” he said. “Nothing has
been ruled out, but as far as actively looking for a suspect tonight, the answer
would be no.”
The bodies were discovered Saturday afternoon by one of McNair’s longtime
friends.
Police said Kazemi was arrested Thursday 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.
