In fact, Kazemi supposedly followed Ignagni as a few weeks before the murder. Rumors had surfaced at the time of McNair’s murder that perhaps Kazemi was jealous of another woman in McNair’s life, and this latest development seems to confirm that. One report says that:

Leah Ignagni told police that McNair visited her around 4 a.m. on July 2, just a couple of hours after Kazemi’s DUI arrest, and then the former Tennessee Titans star spent the night at Ignagni’s apartment before leaving early July 3.

In other words, McNair bailed Kazemi out of jail for a DUI, and then headed to Ignagni’s house on July 2nd.

Steve McNair Had Second Mistress

For $100, Sahel Kazemi bought a gun from Gilliam. Soon after, Kazemi shot McNair twice in the head and twice in the chest before turning the gun on herself.

Gilliam, for his part, is in a lot of trouble. Due to being a convicted felon, it’s a felony for him to sell a gun. If convicted on the charge, Gilliam could face a $250 fine and 120 months in jail. Right now, he’s in federal custody as he waits for his bond to be set.

McNair, whose death has officially been ruled a murder-suicide, had an emotional funeral that was attended by many current and former NFL players including Ray Lewis, Vince Young and Brett Favre. Both Lewis and young spoke at his funeral.

Adrian Gilliam Sold Gun to Sahel Kazemi

In the Steve McNair funeral video below, you can see Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens and Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans talk about his life. Young was especially emotional about his mentor passing away.

Other notable people at the funeral were Brett Favre, Titans head coach Jeff Fisher, Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears and former NFL quarterback Doug Williams.

Police in Nashville have concluded that McNair was murdered by Sashel Kazemi. Kazemi, who had been dating McNair for a few months, killed herself after killing McNair.

Steve McNair is survived by his wife Mechelle and four sons.

Here is the video of Steve McNair funeral:

Steven Ortiz, an associate professor of sociology at Oregon State University, says that many professional athletes feel kind of lost after they retire and act out of character. He has spoken with the wives of many pro athletes, several of whom said, “their husbands behaved in ways that were completely contradictory to the way he used to behave during his career.”

While I understand that leaving a sport in which you excel to a “ordinary” life can be stressful, isn’t this just justifying the fact that McNair had an affair? Is it reasonable to give reasons why he would have an affair, when his wife and children are grieving?

In the video, Fisher urges everyone to look past the circumstances surrounding McNair’s death and focus on the good parts of his life — his playing days, his dedication to the community and his eternal helping hand. While Fisher apologized for McNair and said that McNair probably made a mistake near the end of his life, Fisher didn’t want that to overshadow everything else.

Fisher end the press conference by asking everyone to pray for Mechelle (Steve McNair’s wife) and the family. There have been many memories shared about McNair but nothing quite as touching as watching this video of Jeff Fisher’s press conference.

Although McNair was shot at least four times, the other dead person at the scene had a lone gunshot wound to the head. Saleh Kazemi, who is reportedly McNair’s girlfriend, also had the suspected murder weapon located near her deceased body.

Police have ruled that McNair’s death was a homicide, however they haven’t ruled that Kazemi’s death is a homicide. That missing piece of information has fueled the murder-suicide speculation.

Although McNair is married, he had reportedly been dating Kazemi for three or four months. The two even went on a vacation together. Pictures of their vacation are available on TMZ.com.

Following forensic testing, the police should be able to tell whether the crime scene was indeed a murder-suicide.

No matter the outcome, R.I.P. Steve McNair.

He was a great player, and from all accounts I’ve heard, a great father. The circumstances may be a bit hazy right now, but no matter what, my thoughts are with his family. RIP.
