The police released some more info on the Steve McNair / Sahel Kazemi murder-suicide that took place this summer.

Text messages show a woman asked former NFL quarterback Steve McNair to transfer $2,000 into her bank account hours before police say she shot him to death, then turned the gun on herself.

Nashville police released the text messages Monday night as part of a case summary and detailed the exchanges between the two hours before the July 4 murder-suicide.

Sahel Kazemi texted McNair on July 3 to say she was so stressed she might have a breakdown and asked for money to pay cell phone bills. One text said she might need to go to a hospital because she could hardly breathe.

$2K for a cell phone bill?  Ouch.

Based on the limited information available it sure sounds like she had some issues that needed to be addressed.

I was shocked to see that Steve McNair was found dead today.

Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair and a woman were found shot to death Saturday inside a residence in Nashville, police said.

Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron confirmed that authorities were called to a condominium and found McNair and a woman shot to death inside. Aaron said police don’t yet know the circumstances of the shootings.

“I don’t have any answers for you now as to what’s happened, who’s responsible,” Aaron said.

While not a huge football fan, he was one hell of a QB that obviously caught my attention.  Sad to see this happen to him, let alone anyone.

UPDATE:

The woman found dead with McNair is Sahel Kazemi, his girlfriend.  Also, McNair was shot multiple times, Kazemi had a single gunshot wound to the head. A picture of her can be found here. Before you jump to the conclusion of murder/suicide, check what a Police spokesman said:

Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron told Tennessee reporters today that no suspect is in custody at this time.  Aaron ruled out the scenario of a murder-suicide.

Guessing more will come out, but don’t assume anything yet.
