Convicted felon sold McNair's girlfriend murder weapon

Police announced in a news conference last week that Kazemi purchased "a fully loaded nine millimeter pistol from a private individual" who met her in the parking lot of the mall where she worked as a waitress at a Dave & Busters restaurant. The same restaurant where McNair is reported to have first met her.

Kazemi met the man when she was trying to sell her car. She mentioned to him that she was looking to buy a gun and he told her he had one for sale, police said. The sale took place two days before McNair's shooting.

According to USA Today; McNair didn't leave a will and his widow Mechelle has filed court papers saying she and sons Tyler, 11, and Trenton, 6, are the heirs. Mechelle's probate filing also says she can't confirm whether the other two sons are actually his.

McNair earned more than $75 million during his 13-year NFL career with the Titans and Ravens, and the Tennessean says that so far no records have surfaced indicating he set up trust funds or completed any estate planning.

MCNAIR AND SAHEL KAZEMI VACATION PICTURES

Although Steve McNair's wife said she did not know anything about his affair with Sahel Kazemi, pictures obtained

by TMZ show the pair frolicking together on vacation. One wonders how a vacation with the "the other woman", a luxury SUV in the name of McNair and Kazemi, and the rented condo McNair frequented would not lead to questions? No doubt Mrs. McNair is in severe shock over the tragic death of her husband and father of their four children.

The photos only add to the credability of reports of Kazemi telling friends and family McNair was planning to leave his wife and the two were moving in together.

We may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi's mind when she shot Steve McNair, but interviews with friends indicated she was becoming increasingly distraught over events in her life, including financial problems.

Police said she also suspected McNair was seeing another woman. Police Chief Ronal Serpas said detectives learned that Kazemi recently found out about another young woman she thought McNair was romantically involved with and had even followed that woman home, though she did not confront her.

Serpas said police believe McNair was asleep when he was killed because there were no defensive wounds. After shooting McNair in the head, Kazemi apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head and then shooting herself. The gun was found underneath her.

She sat next to his body and tried to position herself to fall into his lap when she died. She did, but her body slid to the floor and ended up at McNair's feet, Serpas said. The gun was found underneath her. She told a friend on Friday that "My life is a ball of s--- and I should end it," Serpas said.
