Former MVP quarterback Steve McNair was found dead inside a condo he rented in Nashville, TN yesterday, killed in what appears to be a murder-suicide with a woman he had been dating in recent months. The 36-year-old McNair, also known as "Air McNair," was found shot multiple times alongside 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, who died of a single gunshot wound to the head. Police had not yet made an official ruling on the deaths, but a spokesman said, "At this moment nothing has been ruled out, but as far as actively looking for a suspect tonight, the answer would be no." The pair met while Kazemi was a waitress at Dave & Buster's and neighbors said that she had recently been seen coming home in limousines and had been driving an Escalade that she said her boyfriend had bought her. Kazemi had been arrested in that Escalade (registered to her and McNair) on Thursday for a DUI. An ex of hers told a local paper, "She did not deserve this. He was making her believe they were going to be together and everything would be perfect.” McNair, who led the Tennessee Titans to the Super Bowl in 1999 and retired from the Baltimore Ravens in 2007, leaves behind a wife and four children.

"She did not deserve this."
Deserve what, to kill herself? Idiot. I wonder if the gun was registered, and if it belonged to McNair or girl.
Good point about gun ownership. No gun, small tabloid story; with gun, murder-suicide. NUFF SAID
Yet another gun control fanatic!
Ever heard of knives?
Or poison?
Or baseball bats?
Or natural gas?
Without guns, it would have simply been more difficult for Kazemi to kill McNair, and perhaps a bit messier!
Don't repeal everybody's Second Amendment rights just because angry 20 year old girlfriends occasionally kill their married 38 year old millionaire boyfriends!
Seems Like alcohol and unfulfilled male desire for validation ruined this man's life; pity just being wasn't enough. Personally, I think it's the booze. Young people who date older more successful men are often hurt, though rarely homi·cidal·ly so.
If that were me, I would've just kept the Escalade and whatever other gifts he gave me and bowed out gracefully if he wanted to end it. I mean she was only 20 years old, plenty of time for other married boyfriends and childrens' lives to wreck before settling for just one old used to be somebody
Why are you ragging on Kazemi - McNair was the one who was married, and therefore breaking his vows!
The only thing she did wrong was to shoot the guy and then herself.
But, then again, she was 20 - and young kids do dumb stuff like that.
what does this worthless information have to do with new york?
anytime a black man is shot, its relevant to NYC. duh....
Relax. If you don't like it, don't read it. It's not like it's pushing aside actual, important NYC news. There's plenty of room on Gothamist for many topics, especially on the weekends, when news is slow. And you can't blame Billy Parker for wanting more page hits. On any given day, I don't read 90% of what's on Gothamist. That's the wonderful thing about being human and being able to ignore things rather than acting like a deer frozen in the headlights.
Who cares if it's not about NYC? I like when Gothamist covers big news outside of the NYC area. It makes not having to go check CNN for national news
It makes not having to go check CNN for national news
Because nothing ever happens in this country aside from celebrity murders and Sarah Palin hijinks.
Exactly. CNN is no longer a news outlet but a huge windup for celebrity worshippers. I cared about Michael jackson for a milisecond last week.
Looks like he called an audible for the shotgun.
hope that didn't tax your faculties too very much
Unless you follow the NFL I don't think anyone really gives a rat's arse, myself included...
Not worth it:

Is it too much to ask for this to happen to Tom Brady???
Wait that's F#$%&ed up huh...who cares...
Gisele pretty much ruled that out after her last trip to Harry Winston's, but she not above a little Drano in his coke -just in case...
Was it the girlfriend or the wife?
COuld it be the DUI tipped the wife off to the girlfriend?
Steve McNair is a cool dude: he hangs out at Dave & Buster's.
Never heard of the guy.
Whodonit? The gf had to much to live for. It is possible a third person is involved.
