Police confirmed Wednesday that ex-NFL star Steve McNair's 20-year-old girlfriend killed him before turning the gun on herself.
They said they may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi's mind when she shot McNair in his condominium early Saturday, but interviews with friends led detectives to conclude she was becoming increasingly distraught over events in her life, including financial problems. Police said she also suspected McNair was seeing another woman.
Police earlier had labeled McNair's death a homicide, but awaited further tests and investigation before saying for sure what happened.
At one point, Kazemi told an associate that her "personal life was all screwed up," Police Chief Ronal Serpas said. She had mounting debts and had been unable to sell her car. Her roommate was moving, which would have doubled her rent.
"We do know that she was clearly sending a message during the last five to seven days of her life that things were going bad quickly," Serpas said, though there was no indication she told anyone she planned to harm McNair.
Serpas said police believe McNair was asleep on a sofa when Kazemi shot him in the head. She then apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head and then shooting herself.
McNair, a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans most of his career, was shot at a condo he rented with another man. The gun was found underneath Kazemi.
Kazemi's family told reporters that the woman was so confident McNair was divorcing his wife of 12 years that she was preparing to sell her furniture and move in with him.
But associate Mike Mu ... said McNair's wife, Mechelle McNair, "didn't know who this girl is." No records of divorce proceedings have surfaced.

Yes Sarah Palin is hot. And yes women can be 37 and hot. I'm just saying 20 yr old hot chick vs. 37 yr old hot chick No Contest. Not to mention McNair's wife is just average to begin with...
I wonder if she was persian.
I guess one word comes to mind and that word would be “Meth”.
Doesn’t make any sense applying the normal rules of logic, but if girlfriend were strung out on Meth - that might explain the rising debts, the personal life going badly, and the flawed thinking.
Cute, but not into the goth thing.
Could you please define 'old' for the rest of us.
5 kids, unless you’ve been doing her geneology on Daily Kos.
“I seen other pics of her and she was kinda hot. And McNair’s wife is old now so...kind of understandable.”
Are you serious?
HOMYM is hilarious. barney is a philosopher for our times.
I think that may be a mug shot. The article states she was arrested two days before for DUI.
For the record, the hotter a woman is, the crazier she is allowed to be.
The red area is the “Shelly Galesby Zone,” which is where woman clearly exceeds the permitted hot/crazy line.
I mean HIMYM. Geez, I can’t even do acromyms right.
That's probably her DUI pic.
Yeah, afer all, she was the mother of 2 of his 4 kids.
Is Shelly Galesby a real person? I couldn’t find her on the internet.
when you hook up at Dave and Busters with a girl who is not even of legal drinking age, you’re sure aren’t thinkin with your head
she’s rather attractive.
yeah, compared to Helen Thomas. But to lose your life to a whack-job like this? No thanks.
Ok old for President is like 70.
Old for going back into the workforce is 40.
Old for being an NFL QB is 32.
Old for being a hot chick is 27.
Not the one with two eyes anyway.
