Steve McNair's Tragic Death

ASSI - Steve McNair died tragically on July 4, 2009. Steve is a former football quarterback for the Ravens where he played for two seasons and the Oilers/Titans for I believe 11 years. The rumor that surrounded his death was surprising to me. He was shot four times at close range twice to the body and the head, there was a twenty year old woman's body (Sahel Kazemi) found next to him in a condo that McNair owned with Wayne Neeley a sporting goods dealer, the Ford Explorer that Kazemi was driving the night that she was arrested for Drinking Under the Influence of alcohol was supposedly in both their names (he was permitted to leave the scene in a taxi), and that the young woman purchased a gun two days prior to their deaths. Many thoughts ran through my head, did she have a boyfriend that caught them together, did his wife catch them together, or was it a robbery gone wrong. When I learned it was a murder suicide, I was truly in disbelief...what transpired to cause this young woman to murder him and commit suicide? According to several stories that I have read, Sahel was from Iran, raised by an aunt in Florida after her parents died in Iran, she moved to Nashville with a former boyfriend where she met McNair at a local Dave and Busters, she was a waitress, and truly believed that McNair was going to leave his wife for her. When will we learn that cheating is not the answer? My prayers are with his family, wife, and children. May they have the strength needed to mourn the loss of a son, father, and husband.
