R.I.P. Steve McNair (1973-2009)

As many people may already know, former quarterback and MVP, Steve McNair was killed this weekend. He was shot twice in the chest and twice in the head, and found with his also deceased extra marital girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi. The situation is extremely confusing and bizarre.

McNair had been married for 12 years, and had 4 sons. However, six months ago he started dating then 19 year old waitress, Kazemi. He bought her an Escalade for her 20th birthday and would go out to dinner with her and her family. Her sister claims that McNair told Kazemi that he was filing for divorce, but there is no divorce pending. However, McNair recently had been taking trips with his children without his wife, and his house is for sale. McNair's wife, Michelle, has stated she had no idea McNair was seeing another woman.

Another curious aspect to the story is that of Kazemi's ex-boyfriend. She had just broken up with Keith Norfleet when she started dating McNair. Norfleet was not pleased and continuously tried to get back together with Kazemi. He claims she told him she was planning on breaking it off with McNair. Norfleet and his friend have posted some questionable comments on their MySpace profiles. After McNair and Kazemi's deaths were announced, he posted, "never let anyone or anything come in between you and the one you love because when you do you lose everything." Norfleet's friend, whose MySpace name is "Caucasian Persuasion" posted, "The Caucasian Persuasion riden with keith. fuck a quarterback. who is Mcnair in 09? rip sahel kazemi". However, Norfleet has been questioned by police and has not been labeled a suspect.

It has just been announced the gun found at the scene was purchased recently by Kazemi. She did not have a permit since the minimum age to carry a gun is 21. The police are waiting on the results of the gun residue test to see if Kazemi was the one who fired the shots. If she was, it will be ruled a murder-suicide. However, many questions will still remain including the one we will never find out the answer to, "Why did this tragedy happen?"
