Another tragedy struck the country last week when former NFL star and 2003 NFL Co-MVP Steve McNair was murdered at a condominium McNair rented with a friend. His death was ruled as a homicide earlier but it is now considered to have been a murder-suicide.

Sahel Kazemi, McNair’s twenty-year-old girlfriend (whom police now believe was responsible for shooting him four times while he was sleeping before shooting herself), was said to have been distraught about accumulating financial burdens from two separate car payments and higher rent prices. She was also bothered by the belief that McNair was having an affair with a second woman according to friends.

Her family told reporters that Kazemi was so confident McNair was divorcing his wife that she was ready to sell her furniture and move in with him. However, McNair’s wife stated that she had no knowledge of Kazemi at all and it was also discovered that no records of divorce proceedings have surfaced. The McNairs have four children together.
