Steve Mcnair was found in a Nashville apartment on Saturday slumped on the couch and shot several times, including two to the head. He was only 36 years old and the former Tennessee Titan was well loved throughout the NFL.
The body of his rumored girlfriend (McNair was married to Mechelle McNair), was also found with an apparently self inflicted gunshot to her head. A pistol was discovered under her body. She was only 20 years old.
Though the police have stopped short of calling it a murder suicide, they have conceded that they are no longer looking for suspects, and they have ruled McNair’s death a homicide. Ms. Kazemi’s death is not yet classified. This means that the police likely think that she shot Steve McNair, and then herself.
Steve McNair was widely respected in NFL circles, and was a star since joining the league from Alcorn State. He led the Titans to the Super Bowl in 2000, and led the Baltimore Ravens to a great record before being injured. Steve McNair retired in 07 because of nagging injuries.
A former boyfriend of Ms Kazemis said that the two began an affair after meeting at Dave and Buster’s Grand Sports Cafe where she was a waitress.
Mcnair was a very good NFL football player and known to be an even better person. He participated and donated to many charities over the years, and always carried himself well. He will be missed by all football fans, and our best wishes and prayers go out to both his wife, Mechelle, and his four sons.
