Nashville police have ruled Steve McNair’s death a homicide, but have refused to classify Sahel Kazemi’s death. McNair suffered four gunshot wounds (twice to the head, twice to the chest) on Saturday, while Sahemi received just one. The gun was discovered underneath her body.
Who was Sahel Kazemi?
Sepideh Salmani, Kazemi’s aunt, has spoken to numerous news outlets and described her niece as a “young girl who had so many dreams that they never came true.”
Kazemi came to the Nashville four years ago with then-boyfriend, Keith Norfleet. They broke up about five months ago, and she reportedly started seeing McNair soon after.
“He started to talk to her a little,” Salmani said. “They exchanged phone numbers, and started dating from there.”
Kazemi told her sister that McNair was in the process of divorcing.
“That’s why she was like, ‘OK, now you’re divorcing. We can date,’” Salmani told reporters. “He told her, it was going to be finished, the whole divorce was going to be done, two weeks from yesterday.”
Davidson County’s court records shows there is no divorce pending in Nashville, but a 14,000-square-foot home he owned in Nashville is on the market for $3 million. His wife, Mechelle, hasn’t spoken to the media and there has been no word of a divorce pending in Mississippi.
“All she was trying to do was have fun,” Salmani said. “Nothing else. I believe there is a third person involved.”
Her greatest dream, Salmani said, was to be famous.
“I think she is now. She is everywhere,” Salmani closed in a morbid statement.
Salmani paints the picture of Kazemi’s innocence, but as details emerge they strongly contradict her claims.
In the lastest news, Police have been rumored to say they have discovered records showing where Kazemi had recently purchased the semiautomatic pistol found under her body.
While the investigation continues, many speculate that the fairytale romance between McNair and Kazemi had come to an end and was closed with a homicide/suicide ending. No official word has been given on the case.
