Steve McNair, a renowned quarterback, met an unfortunate end more than ten years ago. Throughout his NFL career, the dual-threat QB offered Houston and Tennessee reasons to be happy. In 2003, He became the 1st black quarterback, along with Peyton Manning, to win the MVP award. In the beginning, he was Cam Newton even before Cam Newton. He led Tennessee to five of its eight postseason victories since moving to the state, as well as one Super Bowl berth.
Steve McNair’s friends claim that everything appeared normal. Nothing seemed to be off. You received exactly what you saw: a guy of the home, a trustworthy man, a generous and community-minded boss of a man. However, the 2003 NFL co-MVP and former Titans quarterback had a different side that was more prone to temptation. That’s the aspect of him that let a young, uneasy mistress into his life, one that he eventually had to pay for with his life.
Ex-NFL MVP Steve McNair murdered by four gunshot
Just after he retired from the NFL, Steve Mcnair started dating Sahel “Jenni” Kazemi. On July 4, 2009, McNair’s body was discovered dead from multiple gunshot wounds, along with the body of Kazemi in a Nashville apartment that he had rented.
Prior to the evening of the homicide, the dead couple was having ups and downs in their relationship, and it was rumored that things between them weren’t great. Kazemi was just 20 years old back then, and Steve was 36 years old. On the eve of his passing, Steve tucked his kids to bed before texting Kazemi to say he was on the way.
Later, Mcnair’s friends Wayne Neely & Robert Gaddy, found their bodies and dialed 911. The local police classified McNair’s death as a murder-suicide.
Who killed Steve McNair?
Just four days into the investigation, Nashville police came to the conclusion that Jenni murdered Steve and then went on to kill herself. It was a case of murder-suicide. McNair was shot twice in his upper body and once in the head, with just one of the bullets being fired from closer than 3 feet away. It is thought that McNair was sleeping soundly on the couch when the incident occurred. After killing him, Kazemi shot herself in the temple while sitting next to him on the couch.
Around the time of his demise, Kazemi wasn’t his only mistress. McNair had a relationship with Leah Ignagni, aged 25 while he was involved with Kazemi. Police think that Kazemi’s violent intents were spurred by learning about Ignagni.
With a friend, McNair shared a condo at 105 Lea Avenue as a crash pad. Its sole purpose was to act as a family-free retreat where he could lure young women out for discreet encounters.
According to law enforcement and court records, McNair spent the evening with Ignagni on 2nd July—two nights before his demise at Kazemi’s hands. The investigation found that McNair’s phone records showed text messages she exchanged with a lot of women. Gregg McCrary, a former FBI agent with more than 25 years of service, including nearly ten years in the Behavioral Science Unit, claimed that McNair was having fun with fire.
