NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Former NFL MVP Steve McNair(notes) has been shot and killed.

Titans owner Bud Adams confirmed the quarterback’s death in a brief statement released Saturday.

Adams called him “one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans. He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl.”

McNair led the Titans within a yard of forcing overtime in the 2000 Super Bowl.

Former NFL QB Steve McNair found shot to deathStory Highlights
NEW: Former NFL QB Steve McNair shot multiple times, including once in head

Gun found near body of woman identified as Sahel Kazemi, police say

Investigators say they do not know circumstances surrounding the shooting

McNair, 36, spent 13 seasons in the NFL, the majority with the Tennessee Titans


(CNN) -- Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was shot multiple times, including once in the head, at a Nashville, Tennessee, condominium, authorities said Saturday.


Steve McNair, 36, spent 13 seasons in the NFL, the majority with the Tennessee Titans.

Police said they found McNair and a woman identified as Sahel Kazemi shot to death after receiving a phone call about an injured person.

McNair's body was found seated on a living room sofa, authorities said.

Kazemi sustained a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. Police also said a pistol was found near her body.

Autopsies were scheduled for Sunday.

Asked whether the shooting was a murder-suicide, Don Aaron, spokesman for the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department, said investigators have not classified the incident yet. He said investigators have not ruled out anything, but added they were not "actively looking at suspects" Saturday night.

"I suspect we'll have something to say tomorrow," Aaron said.

The bodies were found just two days after Kazemi was pulled over in a Cadillac Escalade, registered to her and McNair, and charged with a DUI, Aaron said. McNair was in the vehicle at the time.

While Aaron described Kazemi as McNair's "friend," a law enforcement source close to the investigation said that the woman is McNair's girlfriend and that the residence is her condominium in downtown Nashville.

Witnesses said McNair was a frequent visitor at the condominium.

Authorities were questioning people who were near the home, but they said no one was in custody. Watch report on McNair's death »

Police could not provide details about the circumstances of the shooting.

Investigators don't think McNair's wife, Mechelle, who is "very distraught," was involved, Aaron said.

McNair's family issued a statement through a spokesman Saturday, saying, "The families of Steve McNair in Mississippi and Tennessee appreciate the concern, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of our lost of a husband, father and son. The family requests everyone would allow them time to mourn."

McNair's brother, Fred, also confirmed the death but had no immediate details.

McNair, 36, spent 13 seasons in the NFL, the majority with the Tennessee Titans, and was named the NFL's co-MVP in 2003. He spent his last two seasons with Baltimore Ravens before announcing his retirement in April 2008.

The owner of the Titans, Bud Adams, Jr., said in a statement that the organization was "saddened and shocked" to hear of McNair's death.

"He was one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans," Adams said.

"He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl."

The Titans marked a Super Bowl loss to the St. Louis Rams in 2000.

McNair attended Alcorn State in Mississippi.

Dozens of fans who rushed to the crime scene were rattled by the news of McNair's death.

"I'm in shock. It's so hard to believe," Sonya Hughes told CNN affiliate WKRN. "Tennessee Titans, Steve McNair -- on the Fourth of July."


Ludy Wallace, former Nashville city councilman, remembered McNair as a "friendly" guy.

"I think he made an everlasting impression with people he came in contact with and the people that attended his [football] camps," Wallace told CNN affiliate WTVF.

On Saturday, former NFL quarterback, Steve McNair, 36, and a woman were found shot to death in McNair's Nashville, Tenn. condo.

The woman has been identified as Sahel Kazemi, 20. Her ex-boyfriend, Keith Norfleet said she and McNair had been seeing each other for several months.

Wayne Neely, a friend of McNair’s who also rents a condo with him, arrived on Saturday to find the bodies inside.

Neighbors at the Cherry Creek apartment complex in Hermitage said they often saw McNair visiting Kazemi at apartment. At times, she would arrive home in a limousine. She told neighbors her new black vehicle was a gift from her boyfriend.

The black vehicle was the Cadillac Escalade she was stopped in on Thursday for driving under the influence.

According to the Hattiesburg American, Norfleet said McNair was in the SUV with Kazemi, which was not in the police affidavit, but was confirmed by law enforcement on Saturday. Bail bondsman told the American that McNair bailed Kazemi out of jail later that night.

Norfleet said he and Kazemi had been dating for four years and broke up about five moths ago. Norfleet claims Kazemi told him she was dating McNair and met him while working as a waitress at Dave & Busters. He said he was worried about her dating a married man.

“She is the sweetest girl, and she did not deserve this. He was making her believe they were going to be together, and everything would be perfect,” Norfleet said.

McNair is survived by his four sons, Junior, Steve, Tyler, and Trenton, and his wife Mechelle.

damn they were both was so young.... RIP

We all know that but I'm sure you know what we all mean.

Wow. This is really sad. RIP, Steve McNair. I feel bad for all parties in this matter. Steve and his family and the young lady and her family.

TMZ has obtained photos of McNair and Kazemi vacationing together in April.

What is the likely hood that she was pregnant?

I really hope his wife gets through this smoothly

What goes around comes around


I feel very badly for his wife and children. He bought this chick a car and a condo...taking her on vacations and shit And she turned out to be crazy. You reap what you sow.



Smooches;)

I just saw this on ESPN.

How much you wanna bet he went over there to end it and she KNEW he was coing by to end it and she just wasn't gonna be cool with it. I bet he wanted to end it after she got busted for DUI with him in the car, he knew that there was a chance that shit might get out and his wifey wold find out and that woulda fucked all his shit up.
